LET'S TALK FILM! Podcast Episode 25
In Episode 25, we talk to director and author Susan Seidelman about the process of crafting her memoir, Desperately Seeking Something, her experiences as a female filmmaker in the ‘80s, and the lasting legacy of her films, including the 1985 cult classic DESPERATELY SEEKING SUSAN, starring Madonna.
A graduate of NYU Grad Film School, Susan Seidelman began her career in the 1980s when SMITHEREENS became the first American Independent film to be accepted into the Cannes Film Festival. Her film, DESPERATELY SEEKING SUSAN, starring Madonna and Rosanna Arquette, was a critical and commercial success. She has directed dozens of other films starring actors such as Meryl Streep, Brooke Shields, and Sally Field.
ABOUT THE BOOK: In her memoir Desperately Seeking Something, Seidelmen shares a funny and insightful first-person story of her life from her Twiggy-obsessed girlhood to the Madonna-mania of the 80’s and beyond.
ABOUT THE FILM: Bored New Jersey housewife Roberta (Rosanna Arquette) only knows Susan (Madonna) through reading personal ads seeking her—until a bump on the head leads to a bout of amnesia and her taking on Susan’s identity.
