What Purple Rain Is About
A young musician playing a Minneapolis club is carrying his band, a rival on the same stage and the violence at home all at once. He is strong on stage and nowhere else. The film carries its narrative through the concert sequences, with the songs standing in for plot. The acting can be found weak, and the way the music scenes are shot is among the most copied work in the form. Albert Magnoli directed. Prince stars and wrote the music; the film won an Oscar for its score. A real warning: it contains domestic violence, suicide, and scenes degrading to women. Some of that goes uncriticised by the narrative itself.
