It was in 1971 that Jim Morrison reached the summit! With 6 years of intensive career, 6 albums and 200 concerts, nothing seemed to stop the emblematic figure of the Doors.
And yet, the man we called the Dionysus of rock met a tragic end. Illustrated by numerous testimonies and archive images, we return with this report on the last days of this rock icon, consumed by the torments of a star's life.
Director: Michaëlle Gagnet
I think it is so sad that for all of Jim Morrison's fame and money and so-called friends, no one really cared about him.
Exactly!
Like Amy Winehouse. None of them had anyone really caring for them around
I did.
You have to care for yourself ultimately
Seems to be the same almost every time with everyone who goes like this.
Je me souviens très bien ce matin de juillet 1971, quand la mort de Jim Morrison fut connue. J'étais étudiant en immersion anglaise à l'Université York de Toronto. J'avais 20 ans. Ce fut un choc que d'apprendre cette nouvelle, puisque c'était la 3e star rock qui décédait en quelques mois à l'âge de 26 ans (Jimmy Hendrix et Janis Joplin, décédés à l'automne 1970). Cet été là, "Riders on the storm" des Doors, était un hit à la radio. En soirée, une veillée à la chandelle a été organisée en son honneur sur le campus. Ce reportage me remue encore, 53 ans plus tard...😪
Svako ko sklopi pakt sa djavolom zavrşi ovako....
alors deja c'est 27 ans pas 26
@@chinaskerie En effet, il est né en 1943, ce qui lui faisait 27 ans.
@@capricornebete-a-cornes8671 toute facon je viens de m'apercevoir que ce reportage est une copie. le mec a juste piqué le travail de quelqu'un d'autre juste pour se faire mousser. regarde le com que j'ai laissé. c'est pour ca que je lis pas les com.
Mon Dieu !! J'avais 6 ans et j'étais si loin de ce monde d'adultes au fin fonds de ma Provence côtière.... Sur les hauteurs de La Ciotat à m'amuser au gendarme et au voleur avec ma soeur de quatre ans mon aînée et notre voisin de trois ans mon aîné.... Et nous perdions un chanteur d'un charisme à éteindre le soleil..... Beau comme un Dieu de l'Olympe et talentueux comme un De Vinci du pop art américain... Oui ce fut un choc !! Mais je ne savais pas..... Mon innocence m'en empêchait....
Had a really big poster of him in my bedroom. Im 72 and still have such memories of my life then with the Doors.
Me tooooo. ❤😢
“Love Street” is my favorite song, Jim was a soothsayer-poet extraordinaire for the ages. So sad that the disease of alcoholism took his talents away. If he’d have lived I could picture him as a college professor. R.I.P.🤍🤍🤍
The most intelligent film about Jim Morrison yet. Thank you.
It seems old. Any idea when this was made?
You’re probably right, but I’ve no idea when it was made. I would still like to see a more definitive and rounded documentary about JM, but this comes close, even if it is only about the last days….

The first time I saw Jim Morrison in leather pants was at Steve Paul’s ‘The Scene’ in NYC. Quite memorable in a small west side club in midtown.
Best documentary on Jim Morrison’s death. He had an obvious gastrointestinal bleed (very bad) which probably kicked off from liver failure/cirrhosis. Alcoholism can tear you up & spit you out, same as drugs.
Alcohol, aka ethanol, is a very dangerous depressant “drug” that is sadly “glorified” in society.
Τον φάγανε ρεεεε!!!
Very very well done documentary. To hear the stories from John and Bill Siddons, plus, all the accounts of the various Persians that were present during Jim's time in Paris really hammer down what might have truly happened with 'ol Jim. He never stood a chance of getting out there alive, unfortunately. Touching to see those photos of his ma and pa at his grave in '91. Sad but such is life. He lived it!
este es el mejor documental de toda la historia. Muchas gracias !!

Les génies voient le monde différemment que nous et le quittent quand ils veulent, sans regret !
Los genios no exsisten y no hay qe admirar a nadie yo también veo todo muy diferente y estoy vivo y no soy más qe este comentario
@@pablofrediani2348Los genios claro que existen y Jim era uno de ellos... La mayoría no lo son, si todos lo fueran no habría diferencia entre la gente que deja huella (como Morrison) y la que vive vidas corrientes.
The Lizard king...vera leggenda immortale......Immortal poem! Per sempre nei nostri cuori ❤👑🦎🌹 talento immortale!
Why would Jim be laying in the tub with his head against the side with the faucets? Who lays in the tub like that?
Exact, j'y ai pensé...
Someone dead drunk or stoned😢
Ta narkomanka Pamela ,to źródło wszelkiego zła. Ona była narkomanka, I brali razem. To się musiało tak skończyć. Ona jest wszystkiemu winna, .Jakby miał kobietę normalna, to by go pilnowała żeby tyle nie brał hery.
@@briandooley2585 or someone already dead
As Jim would have wanted, I remember him as much a poet as a great singer. I like all The Doors albums, but the ones where Jim shone the most were Strange Days and Waiting for the Sun. His soulful voice and alluring lyrics cannot be resisted. "When the summer's gone, where will we be?"
Maybe, but he developed a great gift for syncopated staccato rhythms with his vocal delivery on LA Woman and on his live version on Who do you Love in particular
A unique talent,creative genius,rebellious spirit,deep poetic soul and individual mystery. Popularity,money,fame was never his game. RIP JIM,RIDER OF THE STORM.
Immortel, mais toujours présent malgré sa disparition tragique en 1971.
Ainda bem eu nasci 76 deu tempo pega os grandes sucesso ele sempre será o fenômeno musical viva Rock 😎
Rest in peace Jim...
If Morrison were alive I would ask him, Jim in the song waiting for the sun, what do you mean when you said ; " This is that strangest life I ever known? Is it because you were able to remember all your past lives? Thank you Morrison for all your songs and poems that you left us.
What a fascinating guy in such a fascinating time.
I’m fascinated with Jim/The Doors. 1960s is an era that intrigues yet absolutely terrifies me for some inexplicable reason.
💯
I remember Jim growing up in Melbourne Florida he lived right around the corner from me..His Dad was very strict hardcore military..He went over to his grandmother's back and forth back and forth his Dad hated his long hair he wanted him to join the military..Very intelligent kid..Before leaving Florida he was born and raised in Melbourne Florida he should have been buried in Melbourne Florida..RIP-Jim..🎼🎶🎤🎙🎚
amazing I haven't seen anything better thank you rest in peace Jim
Stupendo documentario su Jim❤grazie ❤️ 💗
La vie d'un tel prodige ne pouvait pas se terminer autrement, sauf que c'était un peu tôt et c'est dommage pour l'art de la musique.
Jim forever❤
Super! Deutsche Erklärung unter einem tollen, interessanten Bericht, DANKE! Faszinierende Persönlichkeit muss er gewesen sein..RIP!
I write this with JDM's collected works in front of me, coincidentally. Having been fascinated with his music & story since 1984, I've seen all the docs and dramatizations on this subject, and read the myriad of books on his life. I say that only to lend weight to my effusive praise for this exceptionally well done film. It's easy to get details wrong, or omit small but important pieces of info. There's very little missing here, and the people interviewed are exactly the people you'd want to have talked to (save for Pamela). The footage was excellent. I believe that alcohol was his ruin, but disloyal Pam was the source of his pain, and ultimately it was his loyalty to her that weakened him. Was he murdered rather than died? There is some evidence to that effect... He was, after all, considered an enemy of the State by that time. But we'll likely never know. He made himself vulnerable, at the least. I think that his is certainly the most dramatic, romantic, tragic and mythic story in all of rock n' roll history. Really enjoyed this, thanks for posting.
La voce narrante di questo interessante documentario è: MERAVIGLIOSA. Grazie !!❤❤❤
A legend up to today ❤ and forever young ❤
This is so sad! 😢
Jim's image at about 18:56, literally gave me deep goose bumps 😭😭
If you're still out there Jim. I'm your friend. ❤
Excelente documental. Uno de los pocos que cuenta la verdadera muerte de Jim en el Rock n' Roll Circus. Jim Morrison fue alguien de gran talento pero también alguien oprimido por sus propios demonios y adicciones.
Seeing all the comments in different languages from all age groups shows you what an icon Jim Morrison was, immortal
Τεράστιος καλλιτέχνης με τεράστια επιρροή στην παγκόσμια μουσική.... τον έφαγε και αυτόν η κατάχρηση επειδή ήταν υποτίθεται ενσωματωμένη η κουλτούρα τον ναρκωτικών μέσα στην ροκ μουσική.... Μια μόδα που παρέσυρε πολλούς ανθρώπους στην μαστούρα και μέσα από αυτά τα πρωτότυπα έχασαν την ζωή τους επικαλούμενη της ροκ φιλοσοφίας! Πολύ κρίμα για πολλούς 😢😢😢😢
I was 12 in 1972 huge doors fan, there were so many great bands and songs seemingly coming out everyday, Jim was horrified at the idea of going to prison, I think that was the main reason for his downfall, the booze and obviously, but that really scared him, he probably imagined what it'd be like for a rockstar in prison back then
I was 10
How they described his one drink; drinking problem. The liquor was poisoned; just as it is today. A form of meat tenderizer is being blended in with the liquor at the distributor/manufacturer level.
Great doc! I heard recently that his first love Mary Werbelow had passed away in 2022 or 2023.
Descanse em paz Jim Morrison.
Excelente documental, no conocía algunos detalles de la muerte de Jim. Triste final de este gran artista. Que no era cualquier cosa, estudio filosofía y cinematografía, era muy talentoso. Es una lastima que anduviera tan perdido en el alcohol y las drogas. Hubiera dado mucho más de su talento.
A fuga da realidade o fez perder o rumo da vida. Carências e sofrimentos, mas a música foi o seu melhor caminho. Saudades de um grandioso cantor.
Amazing documentary
I always thought the bathtub portion of the story seemed odd. I’ve never hopped in a bath or shower when I felt sick like that.
It seems like an odd place to die too
@@cheapmovies25 yes and theres a list..prince and a few others died in the bath
Also, if someone is vomiting blood 🩸 you cannot think he’s ok. Instead you immediately go to call an ambulance!
@@TheBobbymcd guy from friends too
@@TheBobbymcdno, Prince died in en elevator
Thank you. This is the French sub titled doc that I thought had been lost forever. It’s now in English. 😊❤️🇬🇧
LÉGENDE ❤
La super star du rock dans toute sa splendeur
Ottimo documentario, bello!
I respect his parents for the epitaph. They were not trying to spin a different tale about their famous son. They said the truth quite simply.
To his demons... Sounds to me , way more alike his " things" that weren't good for him . I'm surprised they even had that enscripted. I'm a long time Morrison follower and he influenced my poetry, and music. I've heard the bar death in the stall story since way back. I wish I knew the answer. But to me , Pam got him into H. Nuff said. A great artist lost. Rest in peace James Douglas Morrison.🔥
@joemars41 Are you minimizing Jim's addiction? He was very talented and very troubled. He made his own choices too.
TA PAMELA TO BYLA OKROPNA KOBIETA. CPALA RAZEM Z NIM . ZAMIAST O NIEGO ZADBAC@@joemars41
Ray and the hamond organ, the subtle guitar lead. Predo.inant doirs sound.
Magnifique reportage ❤
Quelle tragédie pour cet homme qui voulait se défaire de ses démons et c est retrouvé dans un cercle de personnes où circulait la drogue. Beaucoup de choses cachés, profits de son argent. Je ne comprends pourquoi la famille n a pas fait une demande d autopsie sachant que cet enterrement a été fait à la va vite, sans prêtre, surprenant ! Je pense que Jim Morisson devrait avoir une cérémonie digne de sa popularité encore aujourd'hui. Toutes mes pensées à cet homme et qu il retrouve la paix 🙏
❤ Jim Morrison
So agree❤😢
Why? He was just a drunk.
Jim forever!❤
Jim Morrison, the lizard king. Pure magic.
Dommage qu'il soit parti trop tôt
Fabulous Jim ❤
Bellissimo documentario!
Hai ragione
Une chose que j'ai remarqué c'est que la personne qui l'a retrouvé dans la baignoire le corps avait la tête côté robinet???qui prend son bain côté robinet????
That’s what his brother in law said. He’s got a book out “I remember Jim Morrison too”
Pamela called Jim’s parents when she returned to the United States. Morrison’s father , an Admiral, was notified by the Naval Attaché from the American Embassy. Morrison’s sister was notified by her husband, who heard it from a friend off the radio reports. Morrison’s headstone is from his parents, but translates as “Faithful to his own spirit”. Eventually hir royalties were split between the Courson and Morrison families. Morrison’s brother and sister admit that those royalties have left them financially comfortable.
Wow 😢
Why did the Courson family get royalties ??
@@Irene-qe5hu Morrison’s Will stipulated that if she survived him, she would inherit from him. She survived him, but not by too much and they had no children. If she would’ve died sooner his brother and sister would’ve inherited. Her family got everything, on paper, initially. But there were challenges by others and questions about his and her competence in the context of drug and alcohol abuse. His Will wasn’t very formal so everything sat in probate. Her father didn’t like Morrison at all. And while Morrison rarely spoke to his parents, he was known to be close to both his brother and sister. They would occasionally stay with him. In the end Morrison’s father negotiated a 50/50 split between Courson’s family and his surviving children (Jim’s sister and brother).
Fatene più spesso di questi documentari...
Gracias por compartirlo !!!!
Repose en paix ❤
As the saying goes, "Life is short and desires are endless," I believe that maybe Jim Morrison is still aspiring for music and fulfilling his dreams. Through Jim's stage, I became interested in the invisible world. He was not just an attractive artist, but a wizard who broke the boundaries between life and death and connected the new world. His songs, which project a lot of religious significance and magic, are very ironic. Sometimes you might say that his stage is aggressive and violent, but inside Jim Morrison's songs are peaceful and comforting.
He was a great singer. May he rest in peace...As he visited Morocco. He found him self. really. Unfortunately he didn't make it to stay alive.
I was 14 in 71. My father wouldnt let me watch the news of jims death, nor Joplins, nor the Manson news, as we lived in no. Hollywood and family in the music industry...i guess my family thought they could hide the darksides, while promoting to me the Joining the Industry, as was my planned destiny I ran away from there at 16, not to return for 6 years, no one knew where i was. My dad said, " I thought you joined a cult, and died or something"
Fantastic documentary! Thank you!
"Quando ripenso alla mia vita passata vedo cartoline, istantanee sgualcite, immagini scolorite di un tempo che più non ricordo."
Magico Jim ♾️🌞
❤❤❤❤❤❤😭😭Quelle perte, quelle tristesse !!
Been a Doors fan for almost 50 years. What a sad ending for Jim, he was a depressed and very sick person. What a waste of talent.
Не думаю, что он был больным человеком. Пессимист это информированный оптимист. Таким был Джими
Pane KAŽDÝ FEŤÁK JE NAVŽDY NEMOCNÝ člověk!!! Umírá každým dnem bez feťácké dávky! The Doors mám ráda! Jim svým feťáctvím kapelu zničil! Nemohli se na jeho osobu spolehnout! Nahrávání,koncerty, nasmlouvané kontrakty! Muzika byla, je a bude byznys! V azbuce vám nehodlám odpovídat! Je mi jedno jestli jste Rus nebo z UA!
@@user-ho4dc5zc3ivelmi se omlouvám,popletla jsem adresy až na azbuku,což je chyba z mé strany, za názory stojím!
Not depressed at all. Alain Ronay his friend in Paris lived with him in Rue Beautruills almost all june 1971, and he denied that stuff about "depressed Jim who wanted to die". Morrison died cause he went too far that night in RnRoll Circus, and his heart just stopped.
J adore ❤
What a voice! Van Morrison.
I live in a Van down by the Morrison.
There is a no question this man exhausted himself to death and his heart couldn’t take it anymore
I felt bad for Jim, he just never found the center of his life,! Always living on the edge of night and nowhere.
living on the edge of night a great song by Iggy Pop
@@derekdykeman9160 I love Iggy, the iguana 🦎
You should t feel bad about it. He was the center of other people's lives.

Amazing clip, thank you. Jim was like a few of us, totally different but an amazing fucking brilliant fucking human fucking being. I'm still there, 74 years old
I'm a huge fan of Morrison, so much so Ive stayed in his old motel room, added to the memories on the wall, hit all his old stomping grounds in L.A and got his autograph tattooed on me. I liked the doors ofcourse but I love Jim more.
❤❤❤❤❤❤Repose en paix Jim 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘❤️ love 💕💞💕 beautiful BEAUTIFUL love Jim Morisson 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰💙❤💙❤♥️💛💚🙏🙏🙏💋💋💋💗💗💗
Je suis fan de toi Morrison et je ne manque jamais de te rendre hommage en allant sur ta tombe au cimetière du père lachaise à chaque fois que je me rends à Paris
Magnífico documental.
Que documentário perfeito!! Amei!!
Thanks. 🥁
C est tellement dommage qu il se droguait, buvait , un si grand chanteur !
Una muerte tonta y un genio perdido. 💔😭🎼🎵🎶⭐️👏👏👏👏
Jim fantastick Poet,cool,beauty💙
Love the Doors ❤ music !
I watched a poignant documentary about Jim. I paid attention.. His dream was to be a poet , not a singer.. He wanted out ...God love him.. RIP Jim..😏 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
¡Excelente documental!
Pamela curson She s a Devil for Jim Morrison....😢
È una concausa, ma se non ci fosse stata lei ci sarebbe stata qualcun'altra, non avrebbe fatto differenza. Certamente la droga l'ha comprata lei e lui accettava per comodità
He was a seriously complicated individual ,,, talented ,, insecure ,, and substance dependent person ,, extremely self destructive 💔🥲
Perpetually grieving. As a fellow military brat I understand his heart.
Very goid looking guy. Sad story
He didn't record anything in Paris that session they talk about is total fiction, He had the tapes with him in Paris but it was a drunken session with McClure and others back in LA.. research is important
The best man ,the best poetry ,and best sicodelic music ,
On a voulu lui donner un bain pour le desaoulé tenir éveillé etc... il y n'y est pas allé seul à mon avis et entre 6h et l’arrivée des pompiers c'est clair que l'on peut falsifier beaucoup de choses et l'eau ne serait pas à 30° et le pire c'est l'enterrement, un peu comme on met un sac poubelle ds un container 2secondes chrono et pas un mot. Honteux !!
Phillippe manoeuvres a dit " il est mort d une overdose dans une boîte de nuit , le patron aurait permis de le déplacer car bien sûr enquete donc rasé de prêt pour faire une belle photo, manoeuvre qui n enlève jamais ses lunettes.
Hey fellow Americans, he was born in December 1943. He’s only a few months younger than president Joe Biden. He’d be 80 now.. Can we really imagine Jim at 80 years old?! Nope. Forever young in our memories.
80 yers? I didn't know his age. In fact in our memories he will be young for eternity.. RIP Pam & Jim
@@sgwinc7644 yep. Without googling it I believe he’s December 30 or 31 . Like 2 months younger than Biden.
GRANDE CANTANTE È ARTISTA
Excellent documentary. The guys "... in dark clothes " that took him out of the club were hired. The woman that was there is unafraid to speak after all these years. Jim screwed up, and was a mess at that point anyway. The truth comes out after many years as most people have passed on. It was announced on the scoreboard at Shea Stadium during the Humble Pie/Grand Funk Railroad concert in NYC in between acts. A hush came over the crowd. A sad ending to a brilliant poet/ performer. It happens everyday with Fentanyl to people now. But they're not famous. Some don't even know they're taking it. But their friends and family do afterward.😔
Que Señor Documental , saludos desde Uruguay y un Beso al cielo para mi Idolo que lo Ame,amo y amare! viva The doors.
it seems like he barely matters to his friends and age fellows after his death back then . once that generation is gone hardly anyone will understand -jim morrison - who-? legend why...?
His popularity among new generations has grown ever since his death.
C'era un periodo, dove impazzivo per i Doors tant'è che mio padre mi fece vedere anche il film che hanno fatto su Jim di Oliver Stone, e poi ho dovuto smettere di ascoltarli perché stavano sulle palle a mia madre... Oggi li ascolto ma raramente... Però se posso essere sincero penso che dopo i Queen Loro sono la mia band preferita.
So he was in the water all night..found dead at 6... "rescued" at 9h20... and the water was warm... that all makes sens...
It was July in Paris with no air conditioning and a body that was still likely warmer than room temperature. So water could easily be 80 degrees F.
I had exactly the same thought. Even in a hot summer in the south of Spain, after 3 hours the water would be cold or less than tepid. I was waiting for a slip up like this. 27:00 (he got in the bath at 3am(ish) and was visited by the emergency team at nine thirty, around 6 hours later.) Hmmm
Said at the 27 min mark....same as his age of death.
Also, strangely mention at the same number of his passing to the other siiiide. 27 🤔💭
God bless Jim rest in peace God bless your family maybe you finally found the peace you were looking for I'd love to see some of your writings you done in Paris while you was there well anyways God bless you Indiana USA
Il a rejoint le club des 27...comme beaucoup d'autres artistes drogués
Définitivement magique , mystique, sublime et mystique. Le roi lézard et ses potes font partie de ma vie, je les écoute tout le temps.
Just like your final days except he's still on the radio
Extraordinario Documental.
L’alcool et la drogue et sa copine all three killed the most talented musicians ever , my first place I visited 30 years ago when I moved into Paris 😢RIP
oui c'est ca copine de lepoque qui lui donnais de la coke de ce quoi il es mort ......
