8/11 – Purple Rain (1984) Albert Magnoli (111 mins.)

We know it isn’t strictly a biopic. But c’mon. The Kid is Prince. And for many Americans, this was their introduction to the artist. Lots of fun performances, a fair amount of schmaltz, and an interesting reversal of the classic music biopic structure and purpose. This isn’t a retrospective…It’s a self-created primer on how to read a character that was still emerging. And that makes it utterly fascinating. Wear something purple!

The Kid: “You have to purify yourself in Lake Minnetonka.”
