Watch The Doors: Feast of Friends For Free

A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

"Feast of Friends" is a 39-minute documentary that was released back in 1970, so briefly before lead singer Jim Morrison's death. It was made by Paul Ferrara and I think it is a pretty convincing outcome. Behind the scenes footage is combined with concert performances and for me personally it was an especially nice watch because of "The End", a song i quite like and that will be forever linked to Apocalypse Now for me. Such an amazing tune. Anyway, perhaps this is not a documentary that will turn you into a really great fan of the band, but it's still a damn fine piece of music I would say. I did not know the other songs apart from the one I mentioned, but I still enjoyed listening to them I guess and it is also an interesting watch from a historical perspective. Somehow, the whole atmosphere and spirit as depicted in here is missing to some extent when it comes to (rock) music these days. Not wanna sound like it was all better back then, but somehow I feel we are in need of more bands like The Doors nowadays. Luckily for us, though we have footage like this film from soon almost half a century ago. I recommend checking it out.
