Short description

Madonna: Truth or Dare is a 1991 documentary directed by Alek Keshishian that follows Madonna during her 1990 Blond Ambition world tour. The film alternates between stage performances, shown in color, and backstage footage shot largely in black and white, covering the tour's stops in Japan, Canada and the United States. It shows the preparation that goes into each show, including a prayer circle before the performers take the stage, and the interactions among Madonna and her dancers once the concert is over. Beyond the concert material, the film also captures moments from her private life and public appearances, including a visit to Detroit for her father's birthday and an encounter with Warren Beatty, who appears as himself.

The credited cast numbers 26 and includes Madonna as herself, along with her backing vocalists Donna DeLory and Niki Haris, Sandra Bernhard and designer Jean-Paul Gaultier. It was produced by Tim Clawson and Jay Roewe for Propaganda Films and Boy Toy, Inc.

The film runs 119 minutes and was released on May 10, 1991. It was the first feature Keshishian directed; his later films include With Honors, Love and Other Disasters and Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me. On IMDb it holds a rating of 6.5 from around 10,000 votes, on TMDB 6.2 from roughly 175 votes, while a critics' rating stands at 6.6 from 36 reviews.

What's left behind the scenes

  • To promote the film, "live" versions of the "Like a Virgin" and "Holiday" music videos were shown on MTV.
  • On January 21, 1992, three dancers from "Blond Ambition" sued Madonna for invasion of privacy during the filming of the movie, demanding compensation for fraud and deception, intentional misleading, concealment of facts, and intentional infliction of emotional distress for the display of private life.
  • Initially, David Fincher was supposed to direct the film, but he left the project at the very last moment.
  • By the time the film premiered, Madonna and actor Warren Beatty were no longer seeing each other. In some conversations between them, which Madonna recorded with the intention of including them in the film, Beatty said "I love you," but it had to be cut during editing because Beatty threatened to sue Madonna otherwise.
