There are lots of highlights in this article such as when the writer says:
“The "Nightline" appearance confirms what her music videos and the recent Blond Ambition tour have suggested. Madonna is at the very heart of American pop culture, the woman who most astutely embodies how feminism has shifted in the last decade. To her, feminism means the freedom to be sexy as well as sexual, to be in control of one's image as well as one's life. Conveying these ideas through movie-star looks, glitzy videos, defiant lyrics and shrewdly calculated sound bites, she has become the quintessential feminist for the video age.”
But I really find her characterization of Madonna in the below quotes to be perplexing:
“Madonna was shockingly inarticulate on "Nightline." That may go with the video territory, where images count more than words and spontaneity is of little value. But she spoke forcefully to feminist issues, even if they were delivered by a bimbo in control of her own bimboness.“
“The video, in fact, was less intriguing than the incarnation that appeared in the course of the interview: Madonna as talking head. It was not a convincing role. She rambled about censorship and conservative opposition to the arts, cluttered her answers with "you know" and "I mean," and seemed ill at ease with predictable questions. Didn't she rehearse?”
I never got the impression that Madonna seemed inarticulate during the interview. She never dodged a single question and gave brilliant answers. The writer’s criticism of the “you know”s and “I mean”s also feels flimsy because they never took away from Madonna’s answers or made her points any less clear. If anything I would argue that Sawyer was the one who seemed confused at times during the interview especially when he repeated the question about “where do you draw the line?” when she had just answered the question.
Madonna is returning to the Tribeca Festival to present the world premiere of “Confessions II,” a visual film. Directed by David Toro and Solomon Chase (TORSO), the film is built around the first six tracks of her upcoming studio album, “Confessions II” — a follow-up to her critically acclaimed 2005 dance record “Confessions on a Dance Floor.” The album is set to be released on July 3 via Warner Records.
“Confessions II,” the film, will premiere on June 5 at the Beacon Theatre. Following the screening, she will join the directors for an exclusive conversation with Jimmy Fallon.
The official description reads: “It unfolds as a single, continuous piece, weaving together interconnected, musicdriven sequences into an immersive cinematic experience. A film that gives physicality to the
music, ‘Confessions II’ lives in the tension between control and surrender, between being seen
and disappearing into a crowd. Each song unfolds across six chapters, each one a sexy thriller,
a dance delusion, an epic fever dream. Like the album, it blurs distinction between tracks, building
cosmic narratives that follow a twisted dream logic.”
The film centers around a fucked-up night out, and through it all – the ambushing, the worshipping, the pursuit – everything leads back to the hallowed ground: the dancefloor.
