About this product
Product Information
In this authentic, entertaining, and tragic film, Bette Midler plays Rose, a talented but exhausted, alcoholic rock star whose entire life is controlled by her cutthroat manager, Rudge (Alan Bates). Taking a bleak look at the downside of the music industry, THE ROSE chronicles the precipitous fall of this fictional rock & roll diva (modeled after Janis Joplin) as she nears a concert date in her home town that she hasn't been to in years. Pulled down by raging alcoholism and drug addiction, as well as her own insecurities, Rose's life begins to deteriorate to the point of complete self-destruction, all the while begging Rudge for a break in her grueling tour schedule. This raw, uncompromising, witty, and ultimately heartbreaking film includes several incredible musical performances by Midler in actual concert settings. THE ROSE is Midler's first role as an actress, and she embodies the alternately frenetic, worn-out, enraged, and sweetly insecure star with an almost inconceivable power, especially when interacting with her love, the faithfully adoring Dyer (Frederic Forrest).Product Identifiers

Rock 'n' Roll fable
It's easy to see that the story is drawn from the life of Janis Joplin. Bette Midler was a great choice to play the title role, capturing the free spirit and wild life the that Rose chose over conventional family life. Her struggle to decide between the two comes across with authenticity due to Midler's portrayal and a reality-based script. The movie has true dramatic value, without becoming melodramatic.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
