What Fast Times at Ridgemont High Is About
Amy Heckerling's 1982 film covers a school year at a Californian high school. Several groups of students are followed in parallel. Each has a problem of their own. The film does not decorate adolescence; the narrative also treats a decision about abortion directly and does not judge the outcome. The screenplay draws on a journalist's year spent inside a high school. Sean Penn and Jennifer Jason Leigh are in the cast. It is the director's first feature. Who it's for: those who like nineteen-eighties teen films. Who it's not for: viewers troubled by teenage sexuality shown explicitly; the film is blunt about it even for its time.
