Two Line Reviews - #268

Movie: The Purple Rose of Cairo (1985)

 

 
Plot: A theatre-addict woman loses herself to her love for movie-watching and when the relation with her unemployed husband starts getting rougher, she seeks solace with a character who dramatically moves from the reel screen to the real world!

 
Highlights:
  • A novel concept, treated light-heartedly serves its purpose as a decent entertainer. Credits to Allen for that.
  • The guy who plays the screen actor who moves out complements Mia Farrow's marvelously done role.
  • The drama characters and their squabbles are funny.
 Unconventional, funny & is worth a watch.
