DESPERATELY SEEKING SUSAN (1985) with Susan Seidelman

New 4K restoration! A bored suburban housewife (Rosanna Arquette) becomes fascinated by a series of personal ads seeking the mysterious, free-spirited Susan (Madonna). After an amnesia-inducing bump on the noggin, she becomes convinced that she herself is Susan, plunging her headlong into a madcap New York adventure involving murder, the mob, and stolen Egyptian artifacts.
Director Susan Seidelman will join us for a post-screening conversation with the Mawrters at the Movies podcast and will then sign her book DESPERATELY SEEKING SOMETHING: A MEMOIR ABOUT MOVIES, MOTHERS, AND MATERIAL GIRLS, for sale on site from Main Point Books.
