SYNOPSIS

he creative chemistry of four brilliant artists - drummer John Densmore, guitarist Robby Kreiger, 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. Rare cinèma vèritè footage offers an intimate glimpse into their musical collaboration - and their offstage lives.

    this has to be one of the most influential rock bands ever and with this new rockumentary, will only solidify what a true rock band can and has experienced through the short, but explosive time.Their music and performing acts can never be recreated or topped. Nice that Johnny Depp is narrating this lost footage, he is of a few, who has had a career that resemble the chameleon The Lizard King has had.
