Intransigeant et mégalomane, le "Kid", musicien de génie, se cloître dans un isolement protecteur. Le leader d'un groupe funk, Morris Day, lui dispute une notoriété grandissante et le coeur de la belle et mystérieuse Apollonia. Les personnages de ce film interprétent pratiquement tous leur propre rôle, à commencer par Prince, la star des années quatre-vingts. (texte officiel du distributeur)

It’s good that Prince didn’t overdo it with movies and stuck with music. The song Purple Rain is good, but the eponymous movie is a total crazy trip. More than a film it looks like a mix of shots from his concerts, which alone wouldn’t be so bad. But the plot is some hardcore wackiness, which must have been a joke; I can’t imagine the creators were serious about this. Prince with his mustache and bike didn’t look exactly like the toughest guy under the Sun. He, however, succeeded in bewitching me with the love of his life. And I don’t mean Apollonia but music.

This film is basically about nothing and it doesn't make much sense to dwell too much on the story, because not much happens here. Nothing that is truly unique. The plot is quite simple. However, this film has Prince, both in terms of acting and music. If a person just listened to the film, they would have a much better experience. The music is fantastic.
