Friday, June 3: Sign O’ the Times at Prytania Theatre (Uptown)
Prince’s Sign O’ the Times celebrates its 35th anniversary this year. Titled after his platinum-selling double album of the same name, the film performed poorly in theaters upon release in 1987 and remained out of print. However, it has recently been redistributed officially, including this year’s special anniversary print. Rolling Stone praised it, calling “Prince’s great ‘lost’ concert film.” Rated PG-13. The film will also run June 3-9 at Prytania Theatres at Canal Place Downtown.
