Plots(1)

Death of a Rock Star is an homage to the late great singer of The Doors, Jim Morrison. It is an image-laden, almost surreal film, which integrates actual events from Morrison’s life into a patterned structure, held together by a new score by Adrian Quesada.

English Death of a Rock Star is a provocative and dirty excursion into the life and death of an unnamed musician, loosely inspired by the death of The Doors singer Jim Morrison. It’s a kind of concentrated psychedelic blend of alcohol, drugs, sex, violence and rock ’n’ roll, deprived of any storyline – just accompanied with frantic music. A purely emotional picture.
