1985 | 35mm | US | D: Susan Seidelman

Fascinated by an exchange of personals ads between the enigmatic Susan (Madonna) and her lover, languishing housewife Roberta Glass (Rosanna Arquette) indulges her curiosity and heads to one of their New York City rendezvous. Things go awry when Roberta wakes up with amnesia and Susan’s jacket in the chaos of a city and a life very different to her own.

A breakout film for emerging musician Madonna, ‘80s fashion and feminism are writ large in this influential cult classic from director Susan Seidelman.

‘A fine slice of ‘80s nostalgia – even for people who weren’t there first time around’ – Empire Magazine

Presented on 35mm film prints from the NFSA collection.
