Karyn Kusama on

Valley Girl

Released 1983
Distributor Atlantic Releasing Corporation

Martha Coolidge’s directorial debut introduced the local phenomenon of ValleySpeak to an unbelieving world. An early exemplar of the let-the-song-score tell the story, it features a panoply of period bands, but not all those listed in the credits can actually be heard in the film today. Due to music rights problems, songs by The Clash, Culture Club, Banararama and The Jam had to be dropped after the trailer was in circulation.

Adorable movie that certainly influenced John Hughes´ PRETTY IN PINK and SOME KIND OF WONDERFUL- über-talented filmmaker Martha Coolidge was even considered to direct SOME KIND… – charismatic cast (Cameron Dye, as Nic Cage´s sidekick,eals every scene he´s in).
Chloe King, daughter of North America´s answer to Just Jaekin, Zalman King, picked the cool-looking jewelry worn by the actors in the film.
Talk about a movie with its heart on the right place!
