Slumber Party: Desperately Seeking Susan

Get “Into the Groove” and into your comfiest pyjamas to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Desperately Seeking Susan—Madonna’s first screen role—screening in a new 4K digital restoration!

New Jersey housewife Roberta Glass (Rosanna Arquette) spices up her boring life by reading personal ads, especially a series of them being placed by a mysterious denizen of New York City named Susan (Madonna).

When one of Susan’s ads proposes a rendezvous with her suitor (Robert Joy) at Battery Park, Roberta secretly tags along. But when her voyeuristic jape ends in permanent memory loss and a new jacket, Roberta begins to gather a lot of unwanted attention from some unsavory characters.
