Pennebaker, director Alek Keshishian documents the human drama -- and comedy -- occurring backstage during Madonna's 1990 "Blond Ambition" Tour. Watch Madonna cajole, scold and cavort with her dancers; bicker with boyfriend Warren Beatty; visit with family members and childhood friends; stand up to the authorities who want to censor segments of her concert; and insult Kevin Costner. Listen to her talk unabashedly about sex and other matters of the heart. This elegantly grainy black and white, 16mm "offstage" (Madonna's always "on," of course) footage is contrasted with stunning concert segments shot in glowing 35mm color and featuring state-of-the-art sound.

Stylish, vastly entertaining but not particularly deep or revelatory of the "real" Madonna, docu centers on her Blond Ambition tour with some interesting glimpses about life offstage.
