Purple Rain [20th Anniversary Special Edition] [2 Discs]

It only seems fitting that the purple-clad funk master would get the royal treatment in this special-edition release from Warner Bros. Home Video, and for fans who long for when the doves cried, this DVD release will most certainly be an essential addition to their collection. The feature is presented in 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen with accompanying audio rendered in a selection of either closed-captioned English Dolby Digital 5.1 or French Dolby Digital Mono with optional English, Spanish, or French subtitles. In addition to offering seven classic music videos by the Time, Appollonia 6, and the man himself, this disc also offers audio commentary by director Albert Magnoli, producer Robert Cavallo, and cinematographer Donald E. Thorin, and three featurettes that cover the Minneapolis music scene, the making of the film, and the influence of Purple Rain on pop culture.
