Background
The documentary was filmed during Madonna's Re-Invention World Tour which toured North America and Europe during May 24 to September 14, 2004. It was directed by Jonas Åkerlund, whose previous credits include various music videos, commercials and the cult hit film Spun. It can be seen as the follow-up to Truth or Dare (aka In Bed with Madonna), which had been released fourteen years earlier in 1991. In both films, the backstage scenes are shown in black and white, while the live performances are filmed in color. The film premiered commercial-free on MTV in the United States on October 21, 2005 but was not released commercially until June 20, 2006. The documentary was originally called The Re-Invented Process in reference to the world tour it documents and the Steven Klein collaboration and exhibition, X-STaTIC Pro=CeSS. Images from the exhibition are used in the opening titles sequence.

Famous quotes containing the word background:
“In the true sense one’s native land, with its background of tradition, early impressions, reminiscences and other things dear to one, is not enough to make sensitive human beings feel at home.”

—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“I had many problems in my conduct of the office being contrasted with President Kennedy’s conduct in the office, with my manner of dealing with things and his manner, with my accent and his accent, with my background and his background. He was a great public hero, and anything I did that someone didn’t approve of, they would always feel that President Kennedy wouldn’t have done that.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
