Details: Set to one of the most slammin' albums of the 80s and using element of Prince’s own rags-to-riches story, Purple Rain is an ideal cult classic. See this stylistic gem the way it’s meant to be seen, in a theater, surrounded by fans still flushed from seeing Morris Day and the Time in concert. Come find out how Prince became the artist and the man he is today in a film punctuated by great performances by both Prince and Zoot Suit clad, scene-stealer Morris Day. What does it sound like when doves cry? There's only one way to find out.
The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp. |
