Animated Courtney 'Loves Her Kook'

 

Filmmaker Michael Mouris has made an animated short featuring Courtney Love, illustrating her "evolution from kooky poster child of grunge to classy Birkin bag carrier." Um, uh...I like Mouris' vivid and visually varied style of storytelling, and I tried very hard not to be distracted by the nowhere near accents of the Lagerfeld and (far too thin) Andre Leon Talley characters - an especially tough task against Love's as she voiced her own - but the subject matter is, well, I can't get into it.

In an early sequence a conflicted Love whines to the world in general "I want to be dignified. Why can't I be dignified?" Let us know when you figure it out. (Hint: your 'declaration' accompanying your name in the opening credits is one clue.)

I love how she started a fashion blog because she's worried about her image -- yet still terrorizes her daughter with public, harassing Twitter messages!

Wendy - Did she?? Those twitter 'messages', the word count equivalent of War and Peace, break my heart. One major reason I couldn't get into the film. Did you notice the title of her new song is 'Nobody's Daughter'? I can't bear it.
