Karyn Kusama on
Valley Girl
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.
