Madonna Week: a film, a book and an album by the artist before the show | culture

The week began full of anticipation: Madonna arrived in Brazil, and soon the country would witness the biggest performance in the history of the Queen of Pop, on Copacabana Beach. Therefore, the actress's presence was the talk of the week.

Of course, he will not be excluded from Friday tips. However, in a different way. Let's talk about a movie, book and album by one of the greatest music pioneers in history.

in the movies…

Many do not remember or do not know, but Madonna also had an extensive career in cinema. In fact, he directed two films – although they were not very successful. It was in acting that he had his most notable moments.

One of them is in the comedy “Sweet Innocence”, by Howard Bruckner, which was released in 1989. In the story, which takes place on New Year's Eve, New York, 1928. On New Year's Eve, a New York Times columnist tells four stories about… The frenzy of nightlife around Broadway and its typical characters: dancers, lovers, rebels, socialites and gangsters.

The movie is available on MAX.

In books…

Madonna's autobiography has just been released by BestSeller Magazine titled “A Rebel Life”. The work, written by Marie Gabriel, contains many details about the beginning of the artist's career, such as her visits to bars in the United States for small shows.

Furthermore, the writing provides a behind-the-scenes look at her reception of the entire sexual and social revolution that led to the 1980s, especially through friends at the time and influential people in the LGBTQIAPN+ community in the USA.

The book was named Book of the Year by The Sunday Times, Biography of the Year by The Guardian and Music Book of the Year by The Telegraph.

On the records…

And of course, it wouldn't be Madonna Week without… music. And Decas De Sexta was unable to cover one of the great pop albums of the 1990s, which brought sensuality and experimentation to an artist's career that seemed somewhat stagnant.

“Erotica” from 1992, has the concept of Madonna transforming into the character of Mistress Dita, with the songs relating to her life. It contains classics like the title track, “Bad Girl,” “Rain,” and “Bye Bye Baby.” In fact, listening is still preparation for the show on Copacabana Beach as there must be at least four songs from the album in the setlist.
