Synopsis

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 from Adrian Quesada. The picture was gorgeously photographed by Will Van Overbeek and features a number of excellent performances, including that of Austin music critic Jeff Whittington as Morrison.
