Desperately Seeking Susan

Milwaukee Film Festival

After hitting her head, Roberta Glass (Rosanna Arquette), a bored New Jersey suburban housewife, goes from being just fascinated with Susan (Madonna), a free-spirited woman she has read about in the personal columns, to being mistaken for her! Susan Seidelman's acclaimed 1985 screwball dramedy is a chaotic adventure of amnesia and self-discovery. Celebrate its 40th anniversary with this screening and book signing event that will take you back to the 1980s!

Book sales and signing starts at 10:45 AM; screening will begin promptly at 11:30 AM. Subject to availability, additional pre-signed books may be available for purchase following the Q&A.

This film is proudly sponsored by Sandi Anderson Adams & Joshua Adams

 

Director Susan Seidelman will be in attendance!
