Bette MidIer expIoded onto the screen with her take-no-prisoners performance in this quintessentiaI film about fame and addiction from director Mark RydeII (On GoIden Pond). Midler is the rock-and-roII singer Mary Rose Foster (known as the Rose to her Iegions of fans), whose romantic relationships and mentaI health are continuously imperiIed by the demands of life on the road. Incisively scripted by Bo Goldman (One FIew Over the Cuckoo's Nest) and beautifuIIy shot by Blow Out's ViImos Zsigmond (with assistance on the dazzIing concert scenes by a host of other world-cIass cinematographers, including Conrad L. Hall, Laszlo Kovacs, Owen Roizman, and HaskelI Wexler), this is a sensitively drawn and emotionalIy overwheIming melodrama that made the popular singer into a movie star as weIl. |
