Purple Rain (Blu-ray)
|
| | | "Blu-Ray Disc, Beyond High Definition."
Features: DVD, Widescreen, English, French, Spanish, Subtitled
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 tumultuous home life 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 4U, When Doves Cry and the title song in what Rolling Stone calls "the smartest, most spiritually ambitious rock 'n' roll movie ever made."
"One of the best combinations of rock music and drama." Gene Siskel, Chicago Tribune
"Dynamic concert sequences..." Leonard Maltin's Movie & Video Guide
"It sizzles!" Los Angeles Times
Editor's Note
A brilliant, talented young musician struggles for success even as a rival musician threatens to supplant him, both professionally and romantically. "Purple Rain" features Prince, in his own inimitable style, performing many of his latest hits, including "Purple Rain," "When Doves Cry," and "Let's Go Crazy." Academy Awards: Best Original Song Score.
