THE EXPERIENCE
The Future of Film is Female presents a screening of Martha Coolidge’s totally awesome second feature, Valley Girl, about love versus popularity in 1980s southern California.
“I think Valley Girl was really the time that I found my voice. And I have to give [director] Martha Coolidge credit. Without her, Nicolas Cage would not exist.” – Nicolas Cage.
ON SCREEN: Valley Girl
1983. Directed by Martha Coolidge. With Nicolas Cage, Deborah Foreman, Elizabeth Daily, Cameron Dye. Runtime: 99 minutes. Rated R.
A popular pink-clad teen from the San Fernando Valley named Julie and a dark and brooding punk rocker from Hollywood named Randy unexpectedly fall for each other after meeting at a party. Fighting against societal pressure from her superficial friends, Julie has to decide if she’ll forgo popularity and embrace a non-conformist lifestyle with her true love. Just like Romeo and Juliet, gnarly.
