NEW SEALED LASERDISC ALBUM of 2 DISCS
THE ROSE
Starring Bette Midler
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).
