The bizarre and dreamlike video for Nirvana's "Heart-Shaped Box" was actually supposed to be much weirder. Kurt Cobain wrote the treatment for the Anton Corbijn-directed clip, but at some point it was tamed down for MTV and the like. The director's original cut was just released today in the run-up to the deluxe edition of Nirvana's In Utero.
