PRINCE IN ONE OF THE GREATEST CONCERT FILMS EVER MADE

For twenty years we've existed in service of film. Alamo Drafthouse Film Club is a reflection of that history and our continuing commitment to sharing the independent, classic and international films we love with audiences everywhere.

Experience ongoing screenings of independent, arthouse, foreign, or documentary films. After the screening, there will be an optional group discussion where you can share your opinion and hear your fellow audience members' thoughts on the movie you just watched.

HIS ROYAL BADNESS IN ONE OF THE GREATEST CONCERT FILMS EVER MADE
4k DCP courtesy of FilmRise

When Prince fans filed into the Rotterdam Music Hall, they expected a good show. Little did they know that they were about to experience one of the all-time great performances of a pop icon at the height of his power. Prince and his band perform 13 numbers, 11 of which are from his double album, Sign 'o' the Times, and all but "Now's the Time" are his compositions. This is high energy stuff, with neon signs flashing above the stage, suggesting the honky-tonk district of a big city. Between a few of the numbers, there are vignettes of street life. Three women - Shiela E, Boni Boyer, and Cat - provide rhythmic, vocal, and physical pyrotechnics. Sheena Easton appears in a film within a film, her rock video "U Got the Look." In constant motion, never far from center-stage, is The Purple One himself. The one-and-only...Prince. Filmed both live and via reshoots at Prince’s Paisley Park Studios, PRINCE: SIGN O' THE TIMES is a high-octane look at one of the most captivating on-stage performers of all time.

The best thing about watching SOTT in the cinema is experiencing people you don't know discovering it. There was a (real film print) screening of it here in Toronto in '16, and I remember all the women in the house going "Ooooooh!" when the lights came up on Prince's 'Hot Thing' outfit. And a big laugh from many when Prince looks into the camera at the end of 'U Got the Look'; not a mocking laugh, but a "that's my man!" kind of laugh. lol

PRINCE: the only man who could wear high heels and makeup and STILL steal your woman!

Phase3

I have never once seen prince on the big screen at the theatre...
I keep looking for my theater to maybe show a anniversary screening of purple rain but it hasn't happened

My father says he saw under the cherry moon in theater back in 86 and he was about the only one there

My closest Alamo draft house is a hour away from me.Maybe I will go
