The follow-up to his 1984 film debut Purple Rain, it stars himself along with former The Time member Jerome Benton, Steven Berkoff, Kristin Scott Thomas and Francesca Annis. Although the film underperformed both critically and commercially at the time of its release, winning five Golden Raspberry Awards and tying with Howard the Duck for Worst Picture, its associated soundtrack album Parade sold over a million copies and achieved platinum status. Since Prince's death in 2016, several contemporary critics have also revisited the film and now consider it a cult classic. ## Credits - **Director:** [Prince](https://cinepixo.com/people/prince) - **Original Music Composer:** [Prince](https://cinepixo.com/people/prince) - **Screenplay:** [Becky Johnston](https://cinepixo.com/people/becky-johnston) - **Producer:** [Bob Cavallo](https://cinepixo.com/people/bob-cavallo), [Joseph Ruffalo](https://cinepixo.com/people/joseph-ruffalo) - **Director of Photography:** [Michael Ballhaus](https://cinepixo.com/people/michael-ballhaus) ## Cast - [Kristin Scott Thomas](https://cinepixo.com/people/kristin-scott-thomas) - [Patrice Melennec](https://cinepixo.com/people/patrice-melennec) - [Prince](https://cinepixo.com/people/prince) - [Sylvain Lévignac](https://cinepixo.com/people/sylvain-levignac) - [Jerome Benton](https://cinepixo.com/people/jerome-benton) - [Alexandra Stewart](https://cinepixo.com/people/alexandra-stewart) - [Steven Berkoff](https://cinepixo.com/people/steven-berkoff) - [Francesca Annis](https://cinepixo.com/people/francesca-annis) ## Criticism on CinePixo No reviews published yet.
