Bette Midler exploded onto the screen with her take-no-prisoners performance in this quintessential film about fame and addiction from director Mark Rydell (On Golden Pond). Midler is the rock-and-roll singer Mary Rose Foster (known as the Rose to her legions of fans), whose romantic relationships and mental health are continuously imperiled by the demands of life on the road. Incisively scripted by Bo Goldman (One Flew Over the Cuckoo`s Nest) and beautifully shot by Blow Out`s Vilmos Zsigmond (with assistance on the dazzling concert scenes by a host of other world-class cinematographers, including Conrad L. Hall, Laszlo Kovacs, Owen Roizman, and Haskell Wexler), this is a sensitively drawn and emotionally overwhelming melodrama that made the popular singer into a movie star as well.

- Archival interviews with Midler and Rydell, with on-set footage

Bette Midler spielt "Rose", wie sie von ihren Fans liebevoll genannt wird - eine Rocksängerin, die ganz oben steht. Zerrissen zwischen Höhepunkten und Misserfolgen, zwischen minutenlangen Ovationen und Momenten tiefer Einsamkeit. Sie ist das Idol ihrer Generation und verliert sich selbst durch diese Verantwortung...
Ein Film, der mitreissende, elektrisierende Live-Auftritte der negativen Seite des Ruhms gegenüberstellt. Ein mörderischer Hexenkessel aus Triumph und Niederlage. Ein echtes Erlebnis mit Weltstar Bette Midler.
