there something appeal about those few woody allen film in which he doesn not act and a they give u a chance to catch a glimpse of his amazing talent from a different angle . the purple rise of cairo be and if i be not mistake and the second time in his career he would stay behind the camera ( the previous one be interior ) and and much like he would again in the 90 with everyone say i love you and sweet and lowdown and woody have take the opportunity to examine film and entertainment from a different angle and and not use the kind of sly dialog and dry humor that usually character his starring role . these film and of course and do not quite have the depth of his early and more personal work namely and especially and annie hall and manhattan . nor be it a daringly original like 1983 underrated masterpiece zelig . the purple rise of cairo be close to it predecessor of the previous year and broadway danny rise and and like that film it and on most level and entertainment a pure in form a woody have ever make . still and what both these movie have in abundance be charm and atmosphere and and in my opinion and purple rise be the good of the two . in purple rise allen revisits his great love hate relationship with hollywood and and he create a charming ode to hollywood of the 30 while never neglect to point out how naive and out of context it really be . clearly and there no room for a manhattenite woody allen character in there he gracefully give center stage to his spouse and muse mia farrow and who give one of her most powerful performance in an allen film . she support by a lovely young jeff daniel and a fantastic danny aiello and who both highlight the huge gap between hollywood life and small town life and the movie during the great depression . the purple rise of cairo be neither deep or particularly involve while the character and relationship be and for the most part and stereotypical and symbolic and lack any real intense exploration . what allen do succeed in create in it and and wonderfully so and be atmosphere and an amazing atmosphere that manage to capture the viewer and transport them . and so and even if it neither extremely important nor extremely funny and purple rise be grab and entertain all the way through and and it manage to blend the comedy and romance and fantasy element into a perfectly charm piece of cinema . purple rise be a pleasure and recommend for view with a loved one and in a darkened living room and on a big screen tv and with a big bowl of popcorn .
