When Jim Morrison, the hunky frontman for The Doors, was found dead in his Paris apartment in 1971, it was the end of an era for a band that defined the times. It was only the beginning, however, of The Doors' true influence and status as one of the most iconic rock bands during a time of tumult -- not to mention sex, drugs and rock and roll. When You’re Strange uses documentary footage to revisit the band’s heyday -- and reinterpret it for a new generation of seekers. (Tom DiCillo director, Johnny Depp narrator)
