Rosalie Goes Shopping is a German-American feature film directed by Percy Adlon from 1989.
action
Rosalie lives in Stuttgart, Arkansas with her husband Ray, whom she calls Liebling . Ray Greenspace was born here and met the Bavarian Rosalie during his time in the army in Germany. The extended family lives with their seven children in the boredom of the American provinces. Rosalie's and Ray's life is shaped by the craziness of American television advertising. They live in a consumer world and know the advertising slogans by heart - they just can't afford the things they advertise. However, this is not an obstacle for Rosalie. She fulfills the wishes of her family with numerous counterfeit credit cards and checks. While her husband Ray is spraying the fields with insecticides in his yellow biplane, Rosalie goes shopping next to the household. However, she is aware of her wrongdoing and relieves her soul as a devout Catholic with the parish priest.
Her life becomes problematic when the merchants in Stuttgart no longer accept their credit cards and checks. Only the purchase of a computer makes the future look brighter for Rosalie again. Now the naive housewife is developing into a dreaded hacker and is going on a whole new shopping spree.
background

He tried to repeat the success of this film in Rosalie Goes Shopping with a similarly characterized protagonist two years later, but this did not succeed.
Reviews
- Lexicon of international film : Emphasizes weird comedy, tailored to the leading actress Marianne Sägebrecht, who, after her successful roles in "Zuckerbaby" and "Out of Rosenheim", wins the audience again with disarming naivety and shrewdness, but cannot compensate for the book's weaknesses. Moderate entertainment.
Awards
The film was invited to the competition at the Cannes International Film Festival in 1989 , where it had its world premiere, but was not included in the award. The film was released in German cinemas in November 1989.
