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."

The 4k version of this classic Prince production is more everything. More colour depth, more sound quality and more like watching a live show. Thanks to the remastered movie and sound, with just a 4k player and screen, it is brighter, bolder and vibrant compared to the old VHS/DVD and Blu Ray editions. Add a sound bar and external speakers and surround yourself for a fully immersive experience.
The movie it's self is just one long music video ........ But oh boy what a music video . The movie that more or less introduced Prine to a mass UK audience is a absolute blast . No one and I mean no one in this movie can act , but that didn't bother me when I saw this movie in the theatre when I was 16 and it still doesn't bother me 40 years later . The picture quality is absolutely phenomenal it's really got no right to look this good for a low budget movie . Shame we didn't get a new Atmos track , but the 5.1 DTS sound track that's been ported over from the Blu-ray is still impressive and punchy on the bass . So if your on the fence with this disc I'd say jump in with both feet and enjoy .
