Mathis is great but the film never quite works. What happened to Bogdanovich?

It's River Phoenix's last performance, but the story is all messed up I guess. The film exhibits how a single talent and passion can change one's life if used properly. The music is excellent in this film. But the ending did not offer any favorable conclusion at all.
