THE DOORS
Val Kilmer, Meg Ryan, Kevin Dillon
TriStar Pictures; Directed by Oliver Stone
Rated R; 135 minutes; 1991
A drama about the late Jim Morrison, poet, lyricist, and singer for the rock group The Doors. Morrison, who died at 27, lived a fast and public life as a psychedelic rogue musician and an apostle of unvarnished sexual abandon. THE DOORS, which includes more than 20 classic songs, is the story not only of an enigmatic, charismatic, and troubled figure, but of a band that was in many ways the essence of a turbulent era.
