A programmers' favorite, Purple Sea is a sweeping and romantic love story whose gorgeous visuals demand to be seen on the big screen. The film is showing tonight at 6:459m at the Dryden Theatre.
From the ballots: Very depressing, like a flash back to last year's picks. Mike picked this??? That was dark, depressing, and I would no recommend it to anyone.
Cinematography was horrible -- hold the camera STEADY!
Michael's response: Ahh, to each his own. As you can see, a lot of people actually loved this movie. And it also got a lot of EXCELLENT votes. So this was definitely well received just based on those who turned in their ballots at the end of the screening.
