Purple Rain - ACMI
The cult rock musical you need to see — and more importantly hear — in a cinema.
Overview
Go crazy and punch a higher floor, with one of the funkiest motion pictures ever made. Returning to the big screen at ACMI for a strictly limited season, more than thirty years after it first took the box office by storm, it doesn’t get much more '80s than Prince, Apollonia, Morris Day and The Time in Albert Magnoli’s cult rock musical Purple Rain.
Screening just six times at the Fed Square cinema, this celluloid time capsule stars Prince in his feature film debut; playing a brooding but talented musician caught up in a bitter musical rivalry. Full of over-the-top costumes and ham-fisted dialogue, the film is redeemed by its Oscar and Grammy award-winning soundtrack, which includes the likes of 'When Doves Cry', 'Baby I’m A Star' and of course 'Purple Rain'. If you’re a fan of the artist formerly known as The Artist Formerly Known As Prince, this is one movie you need to see — and more importantly hear — in a cinema.
