Desperately Seeking Susan
Make My Day: American Movies in the Age of Reagan
August 23 - September 3, 2019
A spin on Jacques Rivette’s Celine and Julie Go Boating, this screwball romp starring Rosanna Arquette and Madonna was mainstream America’s introduction to the ’80s underground Bohemian scene in New York and to the Material Girl herself.
Bored New Jersey housewife Roberta (Rosanna Arquette) only knows Susan (Madonna) through reading personal ads seeking her—until a bump on the head leads to a bout of amnesia and her taking on Susan’s identity. Roberta quickly finds herself caught up in a plot involving murder, stolen Egyptian earrings, and the mob, as well as a romance with a friend (Aidan Quinn) of the guy who places the classifieds. A spin on Jacques Rivette’s Celine and Julie Go Boating, this screwball romp was mainstream America’s introduction to the ’80s underground Bohemian scene in New York and to the Material Girl herself, and features appearances by Ann Magnuson, John Turturro, Richard Hell, John Lurie, and more.
