Nick Broomfield is a British film and documentary maker, who films with as minimal a crew as possible, giving his documentaries his signature style which is very easily recognised. His style is very much on the reflexive side - he is usually seen dictating to the camera at some point. He has won a multitude of awards for his documentaries, such as the BAFTA Lifetime Achievement Award for Contribution to Documentary, and honorary doctorates from the University of Essex and the University of Surrey. Broomfield's earliest documentaries are prime examples of his use of Cinéma Vérité - the juxtaposition of observed scenes, with minimal use of voice over, text and dialogue.
Kurt and Courtney: Possibly one of Broomfield's most famous documentaries was on Nirvana's Kurt Cobain and his suspicious suicide. He looks into Courtney Love's lifestyle, accusing her of supporting the suppression of free speech and much more. This is one of his many reflexive and controversial documentaries.
