Bar Redux PresentsA Susan Seidelman Double Feature
Smithereens (1982)
Desperately Seeking Susan (1985)
“Smithereens is a 1982 American drama film directed by Susan Seidelman[1] and starring Susan Berman, Brad Rijn (billed as "Brad Rinn"), and Richard Hell.[2] The film follows a narcissistic, young woman[3] from New Jersey who comes to New York City to join the waning punk subculture, only to find that it has gravitated towards Los Angeles; in order to pay her way across country, she engages in a number of parasitic relationships, shifting her allegiances to new "friends" in an ongoing effort to ultimately endear herself to someone who will finance her desired lifestyle.[4] “- Wikipedia
“Desperately Seeking Susan is a 1985 American comedy-drama film directed by Susan Seidelman and starring Rosanna Arquette, Aidan Quinn and Madonna. Set in New York City, the mistaken identity-type plot involves the interaction between two women – a bored housewife and a bohemian drifter – linked by various messages in the personals section of a newspaper. The film was Madonna's first major screen role and also provided early roles for a number of other well-known performers, such as John Turturro, Giancarlo Esposito, Laurie Metcalf and Steven Wright”. -Wikipedia
