Purple Rain (DVD)
Description
When Prince’s dazzling and dynamic Purple Rain
(movie and soundtrack album) and the hypnotic hit single “When Doves Cry”
exploded onto the pop-culture scene in 1984, it seemed there was nothing the
purple one couldn’t do. The film is basically a feature-length music video,
but no musician has ever had a better big-screen showcase for his many
talents. The plot is really just a theme (about the son of an abusive father
struggling not to continue the pattern) upon which to hang some of Prince’s
most dazzling songs (including “Let’s Go Crazy” and the title tune), and some
sizzling live-concert numbers. Apollonia Kotero is ravishing as the romantic
interest, and Morris Day and the Time provide some terrific musical
competition. Purple Rain is an essential artifact of the mid-’80s pop
Zeitgeist. Prince took home an Oscar for the song score. –Jim Emerson
