US PREMIERE In March 1971, Jim Morrison lead singer of The Doors left his life in Los Angeles behind and joined his girlfriend Pamela Courson in Paris to write poetry. Four months later he was dead. Paris, 1971 is a dream-like meditative journey, imaginatively recounting his last days and interment at the mythic Père Lachaise cemetery. Using rare interviews, never before featured in a documentary, the film reveals a thoughtful, contemplative Morrison — whose insights unexpectedly challenge our preconceptions of him. The visually striking film paints a timeless portrait of one of 20th century’s music greats through his final resting place.
