Originally titled Truth or Dare: On the Road, Behind the Scenes and In Bed with Madonna, the documentary that stopped the world in 1991 simply needs no introduction.
All of us M fans thought we died and entered the gates of Heaven; press from all around the globe went wild about it; 10-page articles were written by movie critics and scholars, dissecting the whole «true-not-true» question.
So here we were: one year after the monumental Blond Ambition, M was at the height of her popularity... again. No doubt about it: she was the absolute female pop icon of the 90s.
Twenty years after its release, and with a second (kinda) sequel in the meantime, Truth Or Dare is still one of the most amazing things M has ever generated.
Because no words will everencaplusate the Truth Or Dare experience, here are some interesting facts about it:
While sketching the first ideas in early 1990, she thought about David Fincher to direct this documentary about the upcoming tour. At the last minute she dropped it and turned into a small-time video director whose college thesis she'd admired: Alek Keshishian.
The only moments when M said to Alek «You just can't» were during business meetings and with her grandmother.
Truth Or Dare was the most financially successful documentary of all time, making a total $15,012,935 at the box office. The film cost $4 million to make.
