Review of The Purple Rose of Cairo (1985) by Deanna C — 01 Dec 2007
I admit I like this movie slightly better in theory than in execution, but I like it very much in theory. Mia Farrow wears a little thin on me sometimes as an obvious Allen parrot (their love affair notwithstanding).
Jeff Daniels is great as a callow screen cutout. What one has to love about this movie, though, is the metafiction. I consider Allen a master of cinematic metafiction.
