WHEN YOU'RE STRANGE: A FILM ABOUT THE DOORS

USA 2009
85 min
V'09

Tom DiCillo's riveting film uncovers historic, previously unseen footage from the illustrious rock quartet and provides new insight into the revolutionary impact of The Door's music and legacy. The creative chemistry of four brilliant artists - drummer John Densmore, guitarist Robby Krieger, keyboardist Ray Manzarek and singer Jim Morrison - made The Doors one of America's most iconic and influential rock bands. When You're Strange is the first feature documentary to tell their story. Using footage shot between their formation in 1965 and Morrison's death in 1971, it follows the band from the corridors of UCLA's film school, where Manzarek and Morrison met, to the stages of sold-out arenas. Taking its title from the cabaret-tinged Doors hit \"People Are Strange\", the film chronicles the creation of The Doors' six landmark studio albums in just five years, as well as their electrifying live performances.
