The Purple Rose of Cairo is definitely one of the more unique films that I have ever seen. It deals with what would happen if a character in a film broke the so-called fourth wall, and entered the living world. It also deals with how the other characters of the movie would react in this situation. The film does a good job of displaying the wide range of emotions that the main characters go through, as well as having some excellent comedic moments.
I enjoyed the performance of Mia Farrow as a young movie-goer who uses the theatre as a solace from her abusive husband. She struggles to choose where her heart lies when multiple men vie for her affections. I was also impressed by the performance of Jeff Daniels in his two roles in the film.
The only part of the film that I disliked was the climax. The entire film had an overall happy and enjoyable air about it, but the ending just catches you offguard and changes your mood instantly. Overall, a very good film and one that I highly recommend to all film fans.
