Read the outline of this movie and rented it - I don't know anything about Prince, his films or his music,and he was a total surprise. I rented it because KST was in it and she doesn't normally do anything bad. That is not to say that this film is bad - just confusing. The main three characters, with the divine Francesca Annis on the cusp, are disappointing in that there seems to be no chemistry. I felt that Tricky has more charisma than Christopher, and he said that he liked Mary more than his friend, so why did he end up with the landlady? I was expecting great things with the monochrome portrayal and have to say that many times I felt that colour could have saved it. It was ordinary - and no I don't need a plethora of Prince fans to tell me I don't get it, maybe it just wasn't delivered. If it had been written better, if it had been acted better (mainly by the two main men)then it could have been worth the time spent watching it. I was disappointed because I felt that it had great promise, just poor execution. Music a bonus.
