Certain to Shock, certain to be talked about and certain to be a collectors item. This rare piece of music history was shot in 1979 but not released to the public until 1985. "A Certain sacrifice" is the first project ever in which Madonna tested her acting abilities. Though raw and mostly improvised, it's clear that even as a unknown, 20 year old Madonna had intrigue which would be better displayed in later projects. Madonna plays Bruna, a sexy, street wise girl surviving in New York's Lower East Side. After she is brutally assaulted, Bruna enlists the help from those closest to her to seek revenge upon her assailant...leading to a shocking ending. Though quick cut, this hour long film is unique, controversial and definitely a vital part of Madonna's history.
Un film underground new yorkais typique des années 80. Fauché, faussement branché et carrément inutile. En tout cas, ce n'est ni le porno ni le film érotique tant décrié!
