Oliver Stone captures the hedonistic chaos of the late 60s, following the life and times of The Doors' enigmatic and magnetic front man, Jim Morrison. We are taken on a sonic journey from the cradle to grave, charting Morrison's turbulent relationship with his muse Pamela Courson, forming the band in Southern California, his experimentation with hallucinogens and dabbling in the occult, until his tragic death at the age of 27, in Paris. a thrilling spectacle - the King Kong of rock movies. Rolling Stone - Peter Travers, 1991
