New York, July 19 – Nirvana grew to prominence in Seattle,
but the cool kids gathered on the Lower East Side for the premiere
of Gus Van Sant’s Last Days, a cinematic
tribute to the rocker Kurt Cobain’s final hours. And although
we were disappointed that Cobain’s widow, Courtney
Love, wasn’t there, Kim Gordon and
Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth, Hedwig and the
Angry Inch creator John Cameron Mitchell and
Beatle offspring Sean Lennon lent some music cred
to the premiere. Star Michael Pitt looked every
bit the heroin-shooting rockstar in his ripped t-shirt, on which
his girlfriend, model Jamie Bochert, had written
something in blue ink. Writer Paul Auster and Oscar-nominated
actress Catalina Sandino Moreno also hit the no-longer-slummy
nabe for the premiere.
