Has Madonna anything to hide? Not much has to be the answer after this dazzling documentary which set the 1991 Cannes Festival alight. The director, 26-year-old Alek Keshihian, is a veteran of music videos who was given uninhibited access to the star. She believes in the philosophy: Let everybody be who they are. That means standing-up to the Canadian mounties who want her to cut a `masturbatory' scene from her stage show, justifying that scene to her dubious father, filming a wary Warren Beatty in her dressing room, cuddling her black-and-white-and-gay dancers almost naked in bed together, and simply having a routine throat examination. Between off-stage revelations, Keshihian's background assures virtuoso coverage of the 1990 Blonde Ambition tour - with no less than 22 film cameras at the Paris concert. Three of the dancers featured recently won undisclosed damages from Madonna for the way the film exploited them.
