Allen's presence can be very distracting, since he's always the same persona, even his voice when he narrated Radio Days and had a little kid play him as a child. Thankfully, there's no Woody Allen character in Purple Rose... and that makes a big difference. It's pure theater of the absurd, cinema style, mixing reality and fantasy and playing it all very straight.
A miserable, abused wife, Mia Farrow, finds herself courted by a movie character who has somehow left the screen. None of us left our seats, as we watched enchanted.
