AllMovie

Under the Cherry Moon is a 1986 romantic musical comedy-drama film starring Prince and marking his directorial debut. The follow-up to his 1984 film debut Purple Rain, it also stars 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.
