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. 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.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Documentary filmmaking that doesn't collect facts but builds an argument. The director has a position and doesn't hide it — credit for honesty. You watch and know you're being led somewhere specific.

Not without propagandistic techniques, but the arguments are convincing. If the subject interests you — worth watching. If not — it'll overwhelm.

Good for solo viewing or a small group of interested people. Not for a party.

Director: Tom DiCillo
