Part of Music City Mondays
Capturing the hedonistic chaos of the late ’60s, THE DOORS follows the life and times of the band’s enigmatic and magnetic front man Jim Morrison (Val Kilmer) from cradle to grave. Stone’s powerful musical portrait, featuring an amazing soundtrack including over 25 songs from The Doors’ catalogue, charts Morrison’s turbulent relationship with his muse Pamela Courson (Meg Ryan), the formation of the band in Southern California, his experimentation with hallucinogens and the occult, and his tragic death at the age of 27 in Paris.
The 4K restoration was initiated and supervised by Oliver Stone himself, with the support of Studiocanal, Paramount, Lionsgate, and Immagine Ritrovata. The original negative was scanned in 4K 16-bit on Arriscan at Fotokem US. The restoration was managed by Immagine Ritrovata in Italy.
"THE DOORS is a thrilling spectacle — the King Kong of rock movies — featuring a starmaking, ball-of-fire performance by Val Kilmer as Morrison." —Rolling Stone
"THE DOORS is excessive, unsubtle, emotionally brutal and stylistically sadistic, but that's exactly right for the dark side of the ‘60s Morrison and his band embodied." —The Globe and Mail
