Purple Rain (1984)
Medium level coarse language, Adult themes
| Director: | Albert Magnoli |
| Actors: | Prince, Clarence Williams, Olga Karlatos, Apollonia Kotero, Morris Day |
Take a richly-human story of survial and triumph, a now soundtrack by the hottest bands around and the startling presence and musicality of rock superstar Prince - the man who lived the music - and you've got what may be in Rolling Stone's words "the smartest, most spiritually ambitious rock-'n'-roll movie ever made." Winner of Grammy and Academy Awards for its pulsating song score, Purple Rain marks the electrifying movie debut of Prince as The Kid, a Minneapolis club musician as alienated as he is talented. The Kid struggles with a tumultous homelife and his own smoldering anger while taking refuge in his music and his steamy love for sexy Apollonia Kotero. Prince and The Revolution scorch with Let's Go Crazy, I Would Die 4 U, When Doves Cry and the title song. And "Purple Rain showers us with unexpected pleasures," Stephen Schaefer wrote in Us. "Musically it is a triumphant firestorm."

This is the movie you have to see when you want to take yourself back to big hair and great music.. yep, if you enjoyed the 80's this will remind you of everything that was great! Prince rocks, the story line has something to relate to, and the music is something else! Do yourself an 80's favour and take yourself back to Purple Rain!
