	Nick's Flick Picks: The Blog: Picked Flick #49: The Purple Rose of Cairo
		Her world is one of continual returns, and fairly early in The Purple Rose of Cairo, the misleading allure of popular fantasy seems almost as cruelly sad as the threadbare upholstery and the dim, amber-colored lighting in her apartment.
		On her fourth or fifth trip to a matinée of The Purple Rose of Cairo, cheekily rendered as some mad Hollywood combo of Egyptian adventure, cabaret revue, and high-society romance, Cecilia is first noticed, then hailed, then magically wooed by the sweet-spirited movie character Tom Baxter, who literally walks off the screen to join her.
		The Purple Rose of Cairo was the first movie we saw in my high-school film studies course, where it was paired with Hitchcock's Vertigo, an even starker myth about the appeals and the dangers of gorgeous surfaces and emotional projections.

		The Purple Rose of Cairo shows us just how vital a filmmaker Woody Allen is when removed from the bumbling, neurotic caricature, who often overwhelms the broader aspects of his work.
		Like those films aforementioned, Purple Rose demonstrates that Allen can take on board the influence of European cinema and combine it with a style of his own, creating a film that relies heavily on character and conversation, and yet, is totally enjoyable and occasionally very funny.
		There she becomes hook on "The Purple Rose of Cairo," which she watches so many times that Tom Baxter (Jeff Daniels), the dashing archaeologist of the film becomes so distracted he decides to leave the film and walks off the screen into Cecilia's life.

		The Purple Rose of Cairo is, as viewers have come to expect from Woody Allen, a film that takes comedy to the edge of philosophy and philosophy to the edge of comedy.
		Cecilia is particularly enchanted by the latest attraction at the Jewel, titled The Purple Rose of Cairo, a delightfully implausible blend of exotic romanticism set in Egypt--where a pharaoh had a rose painted purple for his queen and now purple roses mysteriously grow at her tomb--and sophisticated nightlife set in New York City.
		The Purple Rose of Cairo is a talky film, as one would expect from such a verbally witty and philosophically inclined writer-director.

		THE PURPLE ROSE OF CAIRO is a lovely, funny, and heartbreaking entry from Woody Allen that still remains one of my favorites.
		Woody doesn't delve into the territory of fantasy too much, but this one totally works with one of his most intelligent screenplays and winning performances from Farrow and Daniels and the ending is a heartbreaker.

		The Purple Rose of Cairo, while consistently entertaining, is so slight, so (for complete lack of a better word) insignificant, the film eventually becomes weighed down by its nothingness.
		The Purple Rose of Cairo is almost unanimously loved by critics and audiences alike (my brother recently saw the flick and loved it), but my passion for it is somewhat tempered by the sheer preposterousness of the story.
		I really felt for the Farrow character, and I was glad that she was able to find some happinesss, but the way she finds that happiness is so ludicrous it's difficult to really get lost in the movie.

		If Radio Days is Woody Allen's love letter to radio, The Purple Rose of Cairo is his ode to old movies.
		Purple Rose, however, is about ten times as ridiculous, its conceit being that Jeff Daniels' Depression-era movie star walks right out of the movie screen to be with the girl in the audience (Mia Farrow) whom he loves.
		Purple Rose is just too goofy to carry much of a punch.

	The DVD Journal: The Purple Rose of Cairo
		But that era of Allen, while not exactly over (Hannah and Her Sisters a year later features perhaps the happiest ending of all his mature films), is suddenly stopped short, suggesting the grim, sharp anti-romantic realism/nihilism that would inform later Allen films like Crimes and Misdemeanors and Husbands and Wives.
		The sharp turn in The Purple Rose of Cairo is jarring, necessarily, the sort of thematic shift that makes sense intellectually and thematically, but in action its whiplashing jolt makes it difficult to digest emotionally, robbing some of its potential power.
		MGM's The Purple Rose of Cairo is presented in a fine, though by no means meticulous, 1.85:1 anamorphic transfer and Dolby Digital mono (Allen's preferred audio format).

	The Purple Rose of Cairo on DVD - MovieWeb
		The film that Woody Allen has said is his favorite of all that he's made, THE PURPLE ROSE OF CAIRO unites the competing tendencies in his work towards realism (be it comic, as in ANNIE HALL, or dramatic, as in INTERIORS) and comedic fantasy (such as SLEEPER or BANANAS).
		Although the film begins realistically--there is close attention paid to period setting and costuming--the conceit of a film character emerging from the screen is one Allen would rarely use except in his outright comedies.
		However, THE PURPLE ROSE OF CAIRO blends dramatic and fish-out-of-water comedic situations to explore the disparity between the real world and fantasy.
