A boy in bunny ears drowns a cat, a man pimps out his disabled sister, and two skinheads box each other in Harmony Korine’s haunting, divisive film depicting life in small-town Ohio.

Alek Keshishian’s touchstone documentary—the highest grossing of all time until 2002—stands as a key text in the construction of the mythology of the most influential and endlessly analyzed pop star of our time. Filmed over the course of her controversial Blond Ambition world tour, Madonna: Truth or Dare captures both the electrifying spectacle of the Queen of Pop’s stage shows and the whirlwind chaos of her behind-the-scenes life. The result is a provocative dissection of modern-day celebrity that’s as fearless, fascinating, and unfiltered as the icon herself.
Featuring an introduction by film curator Joseph A. Berger, who spearheaded Truth or Dare's 25th Anniversary re-release in 2016, preceding the November 19 screening.
