Madonna hated director Matthew Rolston with a passion

[drivebitch 1,860]

Why “Human Nature”?  Didn’t he do a bunch of her magazine photoshoots too? What went on between them?

Well then I hate him too!

Well drama or not between Madonna and Matthew, the final product is absolutely beautiful. One of her best videos and singles.

I agree. So appropriate and absolutely stunning in every way.

I'm sure it's embellished, but even so, sometimes one's best work comes out between when they are at odds with another.

Does anyone have the exact L'Oreal quote? "He made me look like a L'Oreal commercial" or something like that

a different cut of the video

Wow interesting to see. The final version flows so much better. She was right to do the re-edits.

I dun see much difference as compare to the official video.

She hated to work with him, but one of her best 80's photoshoots was photographed by him (Rolling Stone 1986) and he also directed one of her best and beautiful videos (The Power of Goodbye).

I wish she hates Ricardo with the same passion one day, the most mediocre 'photographer' and 'director' she worked with in her 40-year career.

There are segments completely cut from final and there's no 2D texture of the mansion on the hill in the beginning of the video.

Such a masterpiece… she looked breathtaking. 👌🏼

[Ayham 5,489]

Why he stopped working tho?

[Leona Helmsley 9,418]

i always find amazing the music videos they make together.........so why all this hate?

[MaDöner Kebab 6,881]

How did she diss him in the Human Nature video?

Anyway, he did a great job with the video. It’s a shame she can’t appreciate the people that actually took great pictures or videos of her.

[Blue Skies 1,305]

I know M can be a bitch when she has too and has a sense of humor that could rub people the wrong way….   But making someone cry on the set?   Never really at all thought of her as the mean girl type

 

 

At any rate beautiful video in terms of scenery and Madonnas looks. The power of goodbye that is 

[deathproof 10,619]

What I don’t understand is, if she had such a bad experience with Matthew in the past, multiple times mind you, then why did she work with him for POG?

She was at the top of her game during that era, working with fresh and innovative directors, but why him? If she didn’t want a video that looked like a L’Oréal commercial, then why work with a director who specializes in that lol

What was it that inspired her to hire him. Janet’s Everytime video? That one ALSO looks like a beauty product commercial lol

At the end of the day, drama aside, POG is one of her most gorgeous videos. A top 20 M video.

[Drownedboy 1,682]

I love TPOG single and video and I ´m also surprised she wanted to work with him if she hated him.

Well, she had a fallout with Avvidiva years later when she did not pay him for the Confessions tour backdrop. She had a fallout with David Lachappelle because they could not agree on the treatment for the Hung Up video (he wanted her to wear a disguise and pop up in front of random people in the streets of London) he said he had a nervous breakdown becaue she was mean (actually she was quite awful after the horse accident apparently and she knew it but she later blamed it on the meds). The story for Rolston is that she wanted to direct the video. I wonder if like Take a Bow and Nothing Really Matters, the real idea behind TPG was to make a demo for a movie role she wanted to bag. That's around the time Music Of The Heart (she had a fallout with Wes Craven before filming and production with her was pretty much advanced) and Chicago were old news.

" I hate it! I'm too beautiful! Looks like a L’Oréal commercial!"

"I have a genius idea. Let's make Love Profusion an Estee Lauder ad!"

[Honey Little 4,009]

In my opinion, it’s the worst video she ever made. If she had a good director like Mondino, the song would have reached number one.

Yeah that Live Profusion video was a cash grab for her perfume sponsorship thing. It has Careese Henry written all over that deal.
