In 1984, there was one name above all others in the world of pop music - Prince. The film "Purple Rain" and the recording of its music were big hits around the world. The film is about a young man fighting for his place in the sun, through adversity towards the brightest peak. The story is straight from Prince's own life. Years of painstaking construction paid off. (JustWatch)

The wind blows through the seaside boulevards of Trieste like a desert of hearts in this Italo Svevo film adaptation, in which a 40-year-old virgin (Anthony Franciosa) living with her sister falls in love with a prostitute (Claudia Cardinale) from the working-class neighbourhoods. The denial of reality and class realities leads to a downward spiral of humiliation and silent suffocation: 'Love is not for intellectuals' is the film's motto.

Based on the comic book by James O'Barr, this adult fairy tale tells the story of rock star Eric Draven, who returns from the grave to avenge the deaths of himself and his girlfriend. Alex Proyas' hard-working direction is an aesthetically strong ensemble piece. "Heavy metal horror film The Crow is bathed in supernatural night tones," wrote Eija Niskanen of the Love & Anarchy Festival. The 69 Eyes band paid tribute to the film's sad juxtaposition with the main protagonist with the hit song "Brandon Lee". (Kino Regina)
