Madonna - Truth or Dare

Buy This Item Madonna - Truth or Dare by Live / Artisan  Available from Amazon  $9.98  on 9-22-2008     Norman Mailer may have come up with the title <i>Advertisements for Myself</i>, but in this case, Madonna is the one who really wrote the book. <i>Truth or Dare</i>, an engaging behind-the-scenes look at the pop star's Blonde Ambition tour, is a feature-film advertisement for herself that Roger Ebert cleverly dubbed "an authorized invasion of privacy." How much of it is calculated and how much of it is genuine, what Madonna chooses to reveal about herself and what she actually reveals in the process, are up to the viewer to decide. Patterned in part after the classic D.A. Pennebaker documentary of Bob Dylan <i>Don't Look Back</i>, the black-and-white sections of <i>Truth or Dare</i> offer glimpses into her offstage life, while excerpts from the show are seen in color. Madonna's relationship with her father and brother, the maternal control she wields over her dancers, her giggly friendship with Sandra Bernhard, her crush on Antonio Banderas (later to become her costar in the movie version of <i>Evita</i>), the waning days of her relationship with Warren Beatty (who accuses her of wanting to exist only for the camera)--all of it becomes self-conscious fodder for a fascinating examination of modern pop stardom. <i>--Jim Emerson</i> Reader Reviews I bought this years ago on VHS....(enough said?). It deserves a DVD release and some extras. I saw Madonna in Philly in 1989 and I loved it. I still remember the opening act...Technotronic(they sucked). The songs are still good. I didn't even know who Antonio Banderas was then.
