“Delightful from beginning to end, not only because of the clarity and charm with which Daniels and Farrow explore the problems of their characters but also because the movie is so intelligent.”
This week’s ‘Film Club at Home’ selection is Woody Allen's wonderful cinema-as-escapism tale The Purple Rose of Cairo. Starring Mia Farrow, Jeff Daniels and Danny Aiello (but not its director) the utterly charming film is one of Woody's best.
Watch Wayne's introduction below (an introduction that took him so long to record he claims he was clean-shaven when he started). The Purple Rose Cairo is widely available online. More details underneath the video.
We’d love to hear what you think of the film once you’ve seen it. Leave a comment here, send us an email, Tweet us @tpfilmclub or post on our Facebook page. We’ll then gather up some reactions and share them in our weekly email as well as here.
