VALLEY GIRL
U.S., 1983
Directed by Martha Coolidge
With Nicolas Cage, Deborah Foreman, Elizabeth Daily
Approx. 99 mins. DCP.
“I definitely need something new,” Valley girl Julie Richman (Deborah Richman) tells her female friends as she contemplates dumping her long-term, locally enviable boyfriend Tommy (Michael Bowen) whom she is starting rightly to recognise as a ‘total pukoid’. To replace him, Julie has another San Fernando Valley bratboy lined up, but then ‘trippindicular’ Hollywood punk Randy (Nicolas Cage, in his first starring role) comes crashing into a Valley party and into her life — and the rather naïve Julie will have to decide between popularity among her peers, or embracing difference in pursuit of love.” – Little White Lies
Reviews
“This movie is a little treasure, a funny, sexy, appealing story of a VALLEY GIRL's heartbreaking decision.”
