Madonna as Elspeth
Comedy, Confusion And Chaos…
Compliments Of The House!
In 1995, Madonna appeared in the anthology film Four Rooms, directed in four segments by Allison Anders, Alexandre Rockwell, Robert Rodriguez, and Quentin Tarantino. She starred in Anders’ opening story, “The Missing Ingredient,” playing the role of Elspeth, a witch determined to restore a long-lost spell.
The film boasted a huge ensemble cast, including Tim Roth, Antonio Banderas, Salma Hayek, and Quentin Tarantino himself. Despite the star power, Four Rooms was met with mixed reviews and did not win major awards, though it has since gained a cult following for its eccentric style and offbeat storytelling.

This movie compromises four stories into one; Madonna takes part in the first of these short films, playing Elspeth – one of several witches up to bring back a woman from the dead. One of the ingredients is missing in their magic potion – and now they want the piccolo to help them…
