Film Review - Desperately Seeking Susan

Desperately Seeking Susan is the sequel to the critically feted Vaguely Wondering Where Susan Is. The rumour is that there is a third film, currently in production, with the provisional title, Frantically Phoning Round Everyone We Know In The Vague Hope That They've Seen Or Spoken To Susan.

Desperately Seeking Susan is a tour de force from a cinematic perspective. It is one continuous take, on one solitary camera. The actor, Cheggers of pop-playing fame, had to deliver a gargantuan, yet faultless performance. And he managed it.

By the end of the film, Cheggers is completely hoarse. Starting with an inquisitive 'Susan?' progressing to a more tremulous and nervous delivery, before finally, in the climactic moments, attaining a level of worry that could only be classed as desperate. The whole movie hangs on this man and he delivers.
