When You're Strange: A Film About The Doors

synopsis


Winner of the award for Best Long Form Music Video at the 53rd GRAMMY© Awards, and narrated by Johnny Depp, When You're Strange is an intimate exploration of one of the world's most influential rock bands.

Uncovering historic and previously unseen footage of the illustrious rock quartet, When You're Strange provides new insight into the revolutionary impact of the music and legacy of The Doors, tracing their unique journey from their formation in 1965 through to Jim Morrison's untimely death in 1971.

A chronological look at The Doors, focusing on lead singer, Jim Morrison (1943-1971), from the formation of the band in 1965, it's first gigs, and first album, to Morrison's death, after years of alcohol and drug use. Along the journey, we see archival footage of rehearsals, performances, and private moments including a Miami concert resulting in Morrison's arrest and trial for indecency. His love of the spotlight, his desire to be a poet, and his alcohol-fueled mood swings lead to a back and forth between public and private desires, successes, and failures. The band's music plays throughout.
