THE CITY GIRL has everything I want from movies: Incredible new wave production design + wall-to-wall soundtracking on par with VALLEY GIRL that is bound to keep it in music licensing hell forever (AND a title track sung by star + exec producer Colleen Camp), a mysterious male stripper styled just like Richard Hell, an extended, thwarted MMF scene featuring Sam THEE Pickle Man as a midpoint centerpiece and a deadly serious subplot a là DIRTY DANCING. In absolutely desperate need of a home video rescue, but thank god there is now a watchable VHS rip online!!

I really hope casting Raffey Cassidy as multiple members of the same biological family without comment becomes Brady Corbet’s version of Schrader doing the PICKPOCKET ending over + over.
