When Susan Seidelmans Desperately Seeking Susan came out 25 years ago,
it encapsulated the freewheeling spirit of 80s downtown New York.
It was Madonnas wonderfully trashy and sassy big screen debut, and a triumph for
Rosanna Arquette, who plays a suburban housewife who gets amnesia after a knock on the
head and wakes up convinced shes the swaggering hipster Susan, with whom shes become obsessed.
Trouble is, the real Susan – played by you know who – has gangsters on her tail, and a long line of
discarded boyfriends. Put on your pink tutu and get back in the groove!
