This is paramount Madonna: the exceptional behind-the-scenes tour doc, directed by Alek Keshishian, capturing her astounding, unprecedented “Blond Ambition World Tour” of 1990. Initially hired to shoot the tour’s kick-off in Japan for a promotional featurette, Keshishian convinced Madonna that the backstage drama and worldwide controversies swirling around the pop spectacle would make an astonishing, unforgettable document of her career’s most significant moment.
