Punctuated with specially-filmed, dramatic vignettes, Prince and his band bring his Grammy nominated album `Sign ‘o’ the Times’ to life in one of the greatest concert films ever made, capturing Prince at the peak of his musical powers.

This is high-energy stuff: neon signs flash above the stage, suggesting the honky-tonk district of a big city, and between numbers there are vignettes of street life. Sheila E, Boni Boyer and Cat provide rhythmic, vocal and physical pyrotechnics while Sheena Easton appears in a film within a film, her rock video “U Got the Look.”

In constant motion, never far from center stage, is Prince, Minnesota’s charismatic virtuoso, giving the performance of a lifetime.

Director: Prince (US 1987) 85 min.
