Please note this is a region B Blu-ray and will require a region B or region free Blu-ray player in order to play Oliver Stone might have considered his film a tribute to the enduring power of the Doors&39; music but he seems to have also intended it as a cautionary tale on the perils of both celebrity and substance abuse Starring Val Kilmer as Jim Morrison the film focuses on the Lizard King from his days as a UCLA film student in the early 1960s to his death in a Paris hotel in 1971 In the early days of the group&39;s formation Morrison is at his most benign; he&39;s just a guy hanging out at the beach writing poetry But as the Doors&39; fame begins to spread--with Morrison as the focus of attention--his drug consumption and erratic behavior increase exponentially The rest of the band--Ray Manzarek (Kyle McLachalan) John Densmore (Kevin Dillon) and Robby Krieger (Frank Whaley)--begins to grow tired of his late arrivals the increasing number of cancellations and the drunken recording sessions requiring infinite retakes But no one can help Morrison as he spirals downward into an inferno of drugs alcohol public obscenity and depression Kilmer gives an excellent performance including a frighteningly accurate imitation of Morrison&39;s singing Stone&39;s intimate familiarity with SoCal in the 1960s also provides the film with a high degree of surface verisimilitude Back to the Roots - An exclusive documentary highlighting the journey of one of the most influential bands in rock and roll history (52min)Jim Morrison - A Poet In Paris - The last moments of Jim Morrison in Paris (55min)

Oliver Stone directs this film biography of Jim Morrison, lead singer of the celebrated 1960s rock group The Doors. It traces the group's road to success, from their first rehearsal sessions through to their sell-out live concerts, and follows Morrison on the self-destructive path which would eventually take him to an early death. Starring Val Kilmer as Morrison, Meg Ryan as his girlfriend Pamela Courson, and Kyle MacLachlan as Ray Manzarek, the band's organist.
