#KAIRON MARVEL MOVIE#
A beautiful, delicate movie without undo weightiness.
It's not as complicated as it sounds, which might prove the elegance of Allen's writing. Then there are the everyday scenes with Mia Farrow, the lead actress in the real world (usually), and support from Danny Aiello, really just a foil for the main romances (two) going on with Farrow (singular). It's really high brow hilarious when the people on the screen react to the situation, not only because of the existential reality shift going on, but because they are all high brow types. "The Purple Rose of Cairo" is inventive, warm, and touching. In that way it feels like what some novelists would call an "entertainment" to distinguish from their heavier masterpieces, and sometimes these are the most readable of all. And it's not deeply observant and sometimes downright moving and brilliant like his best movies (like "Annie Hall" or "Crimes and Misdemeanors"). It's not zany like his earliest comedies ("Love and Death"). In some ways this is one of Woody Allen's lightest movies, and certainly lightweight compared to the more serious movies of this period (like the stunning gem, "Another Woman"). It's about the joy of life, and love of the movies, and the difficulty to tell the difference sometimes (at least when in the theater). The Purple Rose of Cairo (1985) There's no way you can't like the ingenuity of the movie, and the fun it has.
