Monday Night Movies: “Desperately Seeking Susan” (1985)

Desperately Seeking Susan is a 1985 comedy that follows Roberta, a bored New Jersey housewife, who becomes obsessed with the free-spirited Susan, a woman she only knows through personal ads and glimpses into her exciting life. Roberta’s fascination soon turns into an unexpected adventure when she decides to follow Susan to New York City.

Through a series of comical events involving a case of amnesia and mistaken identity, Roberta finds herself living Susan’s life, complete with her quirky friends, intriguing love interests, and even a dangerous encounter with a mobster. As she navigates this new world, Roberta discovers a side of herself she never knew existed, embracing her independence and sense of adventure.

Meanwhile, the real Susan, also dealing with amnesia, tries to piece together her own life, encountering Roberta’s husband and becoming entangled in the chaos. The two women eventually cross paths, leading to a hilarious and heartwarming climax where they each find their sense of identity and belonging.

Desperately Seeking Susan is a charming and quirky film that explores themes of self-discovery, female empowerment, and the excitement of embracing the unknown. With its vibrant 80s aesthetic, memorable soundtrack, and stellar performances by Rosanna Arquette and Madonna, the movie remains a cult classic that continues to resonate with audiences today.
