ScreenSPACE:: Purple Rose of Cairo (1985)
Written and directed by Woody Allen.
+ Intelligent, whimsical, romantic and comedic. This is a film about ‘making love’ – real or imagined. Set during the Great Depression, Mia Farrow’s character is a soft and honest married woman trapped in an abusive relationship. Her escape from her hardship comes in the form of movies – of which she regularly attends. Her dedication and love of film causes her to become a real-life love interest of an onscreen character. What ensues is a humourous tale of love and deceit which leaves you sadly perplexed but definitely hopeful.

ive yet to watch a woody allen movie. I dont really know what to expect honestly... i feel like theyre basically all quirky love story type things. So, I dont get why hes so famous.
I haven't seen anything(you know that) but this is *really* good. It's not overly bizarre - it's clever and it's really sweet. It can be interpreted as a simple romantic comedy or as something more complex.
hmm... well then! i must investigate this phenomenon furthur then!
