Rosalie Goes Shopping
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rosalie Goes Shopping is a 1989 German film (in English) directed by Percy Adlon and starring Marianne Sägebrecht, Brad Davis, and Judge Reinhold. The film, which was shown at the 1989 Cannes Film Festival,[1] tells the story of Rosalie (Sägebrecht), a German woman married to an American cropduster and living in Arkansas, and the lengths she goes to in order to make money to pay for her love of shopping.
The film, which was rated "PG" in the MPAA film rating system, met mixed reviews. The Deseret News described it as "dark satire masquerading as bright comedy", acknowledging it as a comment on American consumerism, and praised Sägebrecht's "terrific comic talents",[2] while film critic Roger Ebert gave it three stars (of a maximum four).[3] The Washington Post, on the other hand, regretted the film's "deficit of dramatic tension" and considered Adlon's message "scatterbrained" and "thin stuff indeed".[4]
