Film and DJ at The Havana, Chichester

In Detail

The Kid (Prince) is on the rise with his band, the Revolution. While trying to avoid making the same mistakes as his father (Clarence Williams III), the Kid navigates the club scene and a rocky relationship with a captivating singer, Apollonia (Apollonia Kotero). But another musician, Morris (Morris Day), looks to steal the Kid's spotlight - and his girl.

The strength of this film is in the live performances – and not only from Prince and the Revolution. Morris Day’s The Time are electric on stage. Most of the film, very loosely based on Prince’s life, is taken up by live performances, leaving the viewer energised by the artistic prowess and energy emanating from the screen. To fully understand the immensity of the cultural phenomena that was Prince in the Summer of 1984, he simultaneously had the number one song, film and album in the USA.

Special Film & Club Event:

We are delighted to partner with The Havana Bar in Chichester, to host this Prince evening to celebrate the 40th anniversary of ‘Purple Rain’. Join us in this atmospheric club for a screening of the film followed by a DJ spinning both hits and deeper cuts from Prince and his associated artists.
