Composed entirely of original footage from 1966-71, Tom DiCillo's documentary about the Doors filters truth from myth, reveals new insight into Jim Morrison and his bandmates, and captures the essence of the iconic rock group and the era. DiCillo's film pays tribute to the Doors and their music and to a generation's struggle for individuality and authenticity during an unstable and transformative epoch in America.

When You're Strange review by RP
Excellent documentary

I've been a Doors fan since first hearing their music waaaaaay back in 1967, have all their albums and have even made the pilgrimage to Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris. Narrated by Johnny Depp, 'When You're Strange' is a documentary about the Doors, focussing on the lead singer, Jim Morrison. Morrison was the archetypal rock star – surly, profane, drug addicted, yet magnificent on stage. The author of pretentious poetry and great songs, he and the Doors remain one of the most influential rock bands of all time. With plenty of both well known and unseen footage of the band and plenty of music, the film has a contemporary feel; however I didn't find that the commentary offered many new insights. But all in all, an excellent documentary which can be recommended to anyone interested in the Doors.
