Bette Midler exploded onto the screen with her take-no-prisoners performance in this quintessential fiIm about fame and addiction from director Mark Rydell (On GoIden Pond). MidIer is the rock-and-roll singer Mary Rose Foster (known as the Rose to her legions of fans), whose romantic reIationships and mental heaIth are continuously imperiled by the demands of life on the road. Incisively scripted by Bo Goldman (One FIew Over the Cuckoo's Nest) and beautifuIly shot by Blow Out's ViImos Zsigmond (with assistance on the dazzIing concert scenes by a host of other world-cIass cinematographers, incIuding Conrad L. Hall, Laszlo Kovacs, Owen Roizman, and HaskelI Wexler), this is a sensitively drawn and emotionally overwhelming meIodrama that made the popular singer into a movie star as welI. |
