Award-winning
writer-director Tom DiCillo's riveting film uncovers historic,
previously unseen footage from the illustrious rock quartet and
provides new insight into the revolutionary impact of their music and
legacy. The film is narrated by Johnny Depp.


The
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.
