You get to know her, you find out it’s self-pity, but still, it translates well in movies. So I shot a lot of close-ups of her because she’s very good in close-ups. Motivated by his loving mother, Rusty (Cher), and her boyfriend, Gar (Sam Elliott), Rocky ultimately overcomes pain, loneliness and prejudice to become a role model to his classmates and teachers alike. She’d start off in the right direction, but she’d go off wrong somehow, very quickly. We are shocked for a second, until he starts to talk, and then, without effort, we accept him as a normal kid who has had an abnormal thing happen to him. A second later, we see him more clearly, this teenage boy with the strange face. Cher plays Rockys mother, who with uncompromising love and fierce determination helps Rocky overcome pain, loneliness and prejudice to emerge as an outstanding young man, an inspiration to his classmates and teachers. She couldn’t do what Tatum did in Paper Moon. When we see him for the first time, its a glimpse through his bedroom window, half-reflected in a mirror. This extraordinary film is based on the real-life story of Rocky Dennis, a disfigured teenager whose face resembles a bizarre mask. “She won Best Actress at Cannes because I shot her very well. Mask (1985) Cast and Crew 'They told 16 year old Rocky Dennis he could never be like everyone else. That’s why she’s named Cher: She dropped her father’s name. “Well, she didn’t trust anybody, particularly men,” he said. However, when Goldman asks the director whom the most difficult actor he ever worked with was, Bogdanovich doesn’t even hesitate and replies that it was Cher.

Mitch Kellaway: Freeze (the mask literally freezes) Put your hands up. Ha Ha The Mask/Stanley Ipkiss: Look mom, Im roadkill. The whole thing is around a 15 minute read and goes through the money Bogdanovich made in Hollywood, the 7000 sq ft, $15M Bel Air House he owned, his days at the Playboy mansion, the massive ego, the turning down of great movies, the women etc. The Mask/Stanley Ipkiss: Look mom, Im roadkill. Exactly as “fuck it, I don’t care.” That’s about the gist of it. Hollywood Elsewhere’s Jeffrey Wells said “It’s the kind of interview that almost never happens - the kind in which the interview subject says exactly what he thinks. Ever since then? Nothing worth shouting about, some out and out disasters and a single semi-victory leap with 1985’s “ Mask,” starring Cher.Ĭinephiles have been talking about the candid, very blunt talk Bogdanovich just had with Vulture’s Andrew Goldman‘s . Peter Bogdanovich’s peak streak of films in the 70s happened with 1971’s “The Last Picture Show,” 1972’s “What’s Up Doc,” and 1973’s “Paper Moon.” Three top-notch masterworks, or close to it.
