A Certain Sacrifice is a 1985 American drama film cowritten and directed by Stephen Jon Lewicki and starring Madonna, Jeremy Pattnosh and Charles Kurtz. It was Madonnas first movie, filmed around September 1979, but not released until 1985.

Madonna played the part of Bruna, a Lower East Side resident who lives with three love slaves one male, one female, one transgender. Bruna meets Dashiell Pattnosh in the water fountain in Washington Square Park and the two fall in love. Bruna tells her lovers she doesnt need them anymore. They attack her sexually this scene caused controversy since Madonna is topless. Later, Bruna is raped by Raymond Hall Kurtz in a bathroom at a coffee shop. To exact retribution, Bruna enlists her love slaves and Dashiell to abduct the rapist. They dress up as hookers and lure him into a limo. They lead him to a theatre where a Satanic sacrifice is performed. Dashiell later wipes Raymonds blood all over Bruna.Despite Madonnas second thoughts about having participated in this movie, Lewicki had nothing but compliments for her. One of his oftrepeated stories was how he discovered Madonna and was amazed that she handwrote a threepage letter for a part that didnt even pay. She was only paid 100, only because she was short on her apartment rent and Lewicki paid to help out. In Christopher Andersens 1991 biography, Madonna Unauthorized, Lewicki stated That woman has more sensuality in her ear than most women have anywhere on their bodies. ........
