THE ROSE (1979)

MARK RYDELL

Plot

Based on the life of Janis Joplin, The Rose tells of a self destructive artiste whose affairs and triumphs never satisfy her. Hiding her vulnerability behind an awesome stage presence, her small town background has left her without the emotional security needed to cope with public acclaim.
