What happens

Under the Cherry Moon is a 1986 American romantic musical comedy-drama film directed by Prince in his directorial debut. 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 (in her feature film debut) 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. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
