Val Kilmer delivers an electrifying performance as Jim Morrison, the tragic poet and transcendent rock star who became a lightning rod for a generation.

Oliver Stone’s ode to the 1960s, fame, rebellion and excess will make you fall in love with rock and roll again.

‘Commensurate with Stone’s audacious design, Kilmer summons forth something that transcends mere behind-the-music drama, realising the mythical version that Morrison himself – a self-made Dionysus fleeing the conformity of the American dream – strove to construct.’ – The Guardian
