When You're Strange

I truly riveting documentary about The Doors. The film mixes archival footage, Johnny Depp's laidback and simplistic narration and, of course, the band's music. The narration is exception. It's very spare. Almost as if it were the notes the author worked off. Yet it tells the story so well. Details that i had never heard of (and I thought of myself as a failry big fan) came out and were explored. There's a particularly mesmerizing sequence where the band plays "The End" at the Isle of Wight festival. Their performance is intercut with iconic images from the tumultuous years they were popular. The behind the scenes footage of the band is fantastic and the dteail of the storytelling was exceptional. A very simple, but wonderful film.
