Turth or Dare Imdb’s Movie Of The Day

The Internet Movie Database has selected Madonna’s Truth or Dare as IMDb Movie of the Day, here’s their review:
In 1990, the phenomenon that was Madonna reached a peak of such saturation that the world couldn’t turn around without seeing the pop culture icon striking a pose. Riding high on one of her biggest hits, “Vogue,” the Material Girl was simultaneously engaging in a relationship with superstar Warren Beatty, appearing in Beatty’s big-budget summer flick Dick Tracy, promoting a new album, and embarking on her worldwide “Blonde Ambition” tour. Ambition indeed – Madonna was poised to take over the world, but not before she could get everything on camera, and thus filmmaker Alex Keshishian was given unprecedented access to the star for his backstage documentary Madonna: Truth or Dare. Released in 1991 after the furor had died down just a bit, the film followed the Blonde Ambition tour from its beginnings in rain-soaked Japan to its climax in North America, where Madonna faced ire from Canadian censors and wild acceptance in her hometown of Detroit. Critics debated the film’s merit as a true documentary, but as a canny piece of marketing it was audacious and unparalleled. The film itself showed Madonna onstage in glorious color, but offstage, the superstar was photographed in grainy black and white (all the better to soften her complexion, ravaged by hours of non-stop work). Supposedly a candid look at the singer, it caught her being bitchy, supporting, loving, petty, exhausted, evasive, craven, vulnerable – but never less than poised or confident. It was Beatty who most succinctly and incisively captured Madonna’s raison d’etre, saying of his then-girlfriend, “She doesn’t want to live off camera.” – Source: www.imdb.com /Mark Englehart
