Cher, in her first leading role, is his mother, Rusty. With the help of Rusty's uncompromising love and fierce determination, Rocky overcomes pain, loneliness and prejudice to emerge as an outstanding young man who becomes an inspiration to his classmates and teachers. Directed with disarming candor and sensitivity by Peter Bogdanovich, Mask features incredible performances by Cher and Eric Stolz, along with a powerful score by Bob Seger and other hit artists. It's an unsentimental tribute to the hero hiding inside each of us. Year: 1985 Studio: MCA/Universal Director: Peter Bogdanovich Actors: Cher Cher, Sam Elliott, Eric Stolz Source: http://hallmovie.com/ Amazon's Editorial Review Peter Bogdanovich directed this sensitive and moving story about a teenage boy, Rocky (Eric Stoltz), who lives with severe facial deformities and poor prognosis for survival beyond childhood. The film concentrates on that threshold-of-adulthood period familiar to past and present 16-year-olds, folding together common experiences of youth (love, hassles with mom, a desire to travel) with the special burdens endured by the hero. Stoltz, absolutely unrecognizable under lots and lots of prosthetic makeup, is quite good, as are Cher (as Rocky's mother) and Sam Elliott (Rocky's father figure). More than a tearjerker, the film is a genuine celebration of all that is most precious in life, even more to those who have nothing to take for granted. - Tom Keogh
