Purple Rose of Cairo,The
Woody Allen / US, 1985 / 84 min.
When Tom Baxter steps out of his role as the lead actor in the melodrama The Purple Rose of Cairo, his fellow actors are left speechless. Baxter runs off with a fan, Cecilia (Mia Farrow), a waitress who’s just been given the sack. Woody Allen received several Oscar nominations for this brilliant mix of comedy and fantasy. This summer EYE is devoting a retrospective to the New York director.
