When You're Strange: A Film About The Doors
"When You're Strange: A Film About The Doors" uncovers historic and previously unseen footage of the illustrious rock quartet and provides new insight into the revolutionary impact of its music and legacy.
Directed by award-winning writer/director Tom DiCillo and narrated by Johnny Depp, the film is a riveting account of the band's history and the first feature documentary about them.
The film reveals a intimate perspective on the creative chemistry between drummer John Densmore, guitarist Robby Krieger, keyboardist Ray Manzarek and singer Jim Morrison -- four brilliant artists, who made The Doors one of America's most iconic and influential rock bands.
Using footage shot between the band's 1965 formation and Morrison's 1971 death, "When You're Strange" follows the band from the corridors of UCLA's film school, where Manzarek and Morrison met, to the stages of sold-out arenas.
"When You're Strange" captures the zeitgeist and fraction of an era while providing insight into who The Doors were, what they became and what they meant to our culture.
The Doors sold more than 80 million albums and continue to sell more than one million albums a year to this day.
Directed by Tom DiCillo.
