If you take a walk to the Père Lachaise.....

...you will see Morrison's grave .It's exactly how Stone depicts it in his movie.The singer still retains a strong cult here there and everywhere.He rests in peace near French singers Serge Gainsbourg and Edith Piaf,both famous for having burnt the candle at both ends .Like him.
The beginning of the movie made me fear a Godardesque treatment (they hint at the French director several times)but fortunately Stone wisely forgot the pretentious French Nouvelle Vague and opted for a chronological plot.
Like in those rock stars biopics,too little time is given over to musical creation ("Light my fire" is the only exception) and most of the rest is devoted to spectacular shows with plenty of "lewd and lascivious behavior in public" .Also included is the meeting with Nico ,but the latter has a short appearance,which is wise,cause the actress does not look German at all.
Ray Manzarek did not like the film which he called "fake" .Val Kilmer,however,gives a good performance which is commendable for portraying such an icon was not an easy task.
