Brel plays Vincent Van Horst, a hard-drinking bon vivant who loves his freedom and his women. In 1916 he leaves Europe, which is torn apart by the war, and moves to Canada, intending to meet up with Maria, the only woman he ever loved. On the way to Canada, he meets a young boy who dreams about fighting in the European war. When Vincent arrives at the Bar de la Fourche, managed by Maria, he finds her looking older. He finds consolation in another woman, Annie, who looks down on him and drives Vincent and Olivier to fight a duel against each other. The film was released on 23 August 1972.<a href="#cite_note-jacquesbrel6-29">[27]</a><a href="#cite_note-jb-le-bar-37">[35]</a> In 1973 Brel appeared in his ninth feature film, <a href="/wiki/Le_Far_West" title="Le Far West">Le Far West</a>, his second directorial effort. The film co-starred Gabriel Jabbour, Danielle Evenou, and Arlette Lindon. The story is about Jacques, a 40-year-old citizen of Brussels, who meets the fakir Abracadabra who, before dying, gives him a special power. Jacques meets Gabriel, a generous man, who dresses up as <a href="/wiki/Davy_Crockett" title="Davy Crockett">Davy Crockett</a>, and who follows Jacques without asking questions.

He prepared his will, leaving everything to his wife Miche. In the spring he recorded a new single, "L'Enfance" (Childhood), the proceeds of which he donated to La Fondation Perce Neige, an association set up to help disabled children. After completing his last film L'emmerdeur, he took his daughters on a cruise. In November, he embarked on a two-month cruise across the <a href="/wiki/Atlantic" class="mw-redirect" title="Atlantic">Atlantic</a> with five of his closest friends on the training ship Le Korrig.<a href="#cite_note-rfi-1">[1]</a><a href="#cite_note-jacquesbrel5-27">[25]</a> Brel devoted the final years of his life to his passion for sailing. On 28 February 1974, he purchased the Askoy II, a 19-meter (62 ft), 42-tonne steel-hulled <a href="/wiki/Yawl" title="Yawl">yawl</a> built in Belgium in 1960.<a href="#cite_note-jb-yacht-40">[38]</a> He began planning a three-year voyage to circumnavigate the world. In July, he set off on his world trip with Maddly Bamy and his daughter, France, aboard his new yacht. In August, while sailing around the <a href="/wiki/Azores" title="Azores">Azores</a>, he learned of the death of his old friend Jojo. He returned to France for his friend's funeral and stayed on to attend the September wedding of his daughter, Chantal. In October, following medical tests in the <a href="/wiki/Canary_Islands" title="Canary Islands">Canary Islands</a>, Brel learned that he had a small tumour on his left lung. In November, he was rushed to a hospital in <a href="/wiki/Brussels" title="Brussels">Brussels</a>, where he underwent an operation. He was suffering from an advanced stage of lung cancer. Knowing his days were numbered, Brel issued a statement indicating that he wished to die alone in peace.<a href="#cite_note-rfi-1">[1]</a><a href="#cite_note-jacquesbrel7-41">[39]</a> In January 1975, after 27 days at sea, the Askoy II anchored in the <a href="/wiki/Fort-de-France_Bay" title="Fort-de-France Bay">Fort-de-France Bay</a>. From February to July, Brel cruised around the <a href="/wiki/West_Indies" title="West Indies">West Indies</a> before going through the <a href="/wiki/Panama_Canal" title="Panama Canal">Panama Canal</a>. In November, the Askoy II reached <a href="/wiki/Atuona_Bay" title="Atuona Bay">Atuona Bay</a> at Hiva-Oa in the <a href="/wiki/Marquesas_Islands" title="Marquesas Islands">Marquesas Islands</a> archipelago after spending 59 days crossing the Pacific Ocean.<a href="#cite_note-jacquesbrel7-41">[39]</a> Jacques and Maddly decided to live in the Marquesas Islands, living on the Askoy II off the island of Hiva-Oa.<a href="#cite_note-rfi-1">[1]</a> In 1976, Brel returned to Brussels twice for medical examinations. Against the advice of his doctors, he returned to the Marquesas, where the tropical climate was particularly unsuitable for his lungs.<a href="#cite_note-rfi-1">[1]</a> In June, after selling the Askoy II, he rented a small house in <a href="/wiki/Atuona" title="Atuona">Atuona</a> on the island of Hiva-Oa. In July, he renewed his pilot's licence and took advanced flying lessons with his friend Michel Gauthier. He purchased a twin-engine plane, which he named Jojo in memory of his lost friend. This enabled him to travel more easily from Hiva-Oa to <a href="/wiki/Tahiti" title="Tahiti">Tahiti</a>. He also used the private plane to transport food and other supplies to the inhabitants of the neighbouring islands.<a href="#cite_note-rfi-1">[1]</a> In 1977, Brel decided to record one final album. Despite his recent years away from the continent, his legend lived on in Europe and his records still sold millions of copies each year. In August, Brel returned to Paris and moved into a small hotel. He had quit smoking and, despite his poor health, was enthusiastic about working again with his faithful collaborators François Rauber and Gérard Jouannest. In September and October, Brel recorded 12 of the 17 new songs he had written in the Marquesas. The result was his final album, <a href="/wiki/Les_Marquises" title="Les Marquises">Les Marquises</a>, which included "Jaures", "Vieillir" (To grow old), "Le Bon Dieu" (The good Lord), "<a href="/wiki/Orly_(Chanson)" class="mw-redirect" title="Orly (Chanson)">Orly</a>", "Voir un Ami pleurer" (To see a friend in tears), "Jojo", and "Les Marquises". The new album was released on 17 November and was received as an historic national event in France. At Brel's request, Barclay did not run a huge promotional campaign for the album, and still, by word of mouth alone, over a million fans placed advance orders. The day the album was released, Jacques and Maddly returned to their home in the Marquesas Islands.<a href="#cite_note-rfi-1">[1]</a><a href="#cite_note-jacquesbrel7-41">[39]</a> From January to June 1978, Jacques and Maddly lived quietly at their home on Atuona Bay on Hiva-Oa. In July, after his health began to fail, Brel was flown back to France and rushed to a hospital in <a href="/wiki/Neuilly-sur-Seine" title="Neuilly-sur-Seine">Neuilly-sur-Seine</a>, where doctors discovered a cancerous tumour. He remained in the hospital for six weeks and then spent the rest of the summer in <a href="/wiki/Southern_France" title="Southern France">Southern France</a>. On 7 October, he was rushed to hospital Avicenne in <a href="/wiki/Bobigny" title="Bobigny">Bobigny</a> near Paris. He died of a pulmonary embolism at 4.10 am on 9 October 1978 at the age of 49.
