Purple Rain: 40th Anniversary 15
Showroom Cinema sees out 2024 with a 40th anniversary screening of the Prince cult classic, Purple Rain.
Winner of Grammy and Academy Awards for its pulsating 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 homelife and his own smouldering anger while taking refuge in his music and his steamy love for sexy Apollonai Kotero.
Featuring a thundering soundtrack of classic Prince hits ‘Let’s Go Crazy’, ‘I Would Die 4 U’, ‘When Doves Cry’ and of course, ‘Purple Rain’, this is the perfect film to get in the mood for the evening ahead.
