Kurt and Courtney
After rocker Kurt Cobain's death, ruled a suicide, a film crew arrives in Seattle to make a documentary. Director Nick Broomfield talks to lots of people: Cobain's aunt who provides home movies and recordings, the estranged father of Cobain's widow Courtney Love, an L.A. private investigator who worked for Love, a nanny for Kurt and Courtney's child, friends and lovers of both, and others. Although Love won't talk to him and his inquiries lose him financial backing, he comes to believe the coroner's verdict. Portraits emerge: a shy, slight Kurt, weary of touring, embarrassed by fame, hooked on heroin; an out-going Courtney, dramatic, controlling, moving from groupie to star.

Don't Look Back
Portrait of the artist as a young man. In spring, 1965, Bob Dylan, 23, a pixyish troubador, spends three weeks in England. Pennebaker's camera follows him from airport to hall, from hotel room to public house, from conversation to concert. Joan Baez and Donovan, among others, are on hand. It's the period when Dylan is shifting from acoustic to electric, a transition that not all fans, including Baez, applaud. From the opening sequence of Dylan holding up words to the soundtrack's "Subterranean Homesick Blues," Dylan is playful and enigmatic.

Gigi, Monica and Bianca
This documentary, made by several of the Dardenne Brothers regular collaborators, tells the story of a group of Romanian teenagers living on the streets of Bucharest, particularly focusing on 'Gigi' and his pregnant girlfriend 'Monica'. We watch their struggles, listen to their ambitions and witness their lives unfold as their child is born and they must find a way to support her and themselves.
This is an uncompromising documentary, that shows the hardships its characters are facing in graphic detail, but without commentary or sentiment. Much like the Dardenne's feature films, the characters and situations are left to speak for themselves and it's hard not to be emotionally effected.
