Clueless

SYNOPSIS

Clueless is a 1995 American coming-of-age teen comedy film written and directed by Amy Heckerling. It stars Alicia Silverstone and was produced by Scott Rudin and Robert Lawrence. Loosely adapted from Jane Austen's 1815 novel Emma, the film follows a "beautiful, popular, wealthy" high school student who wants to do "good deeds". She befriends a newcomer and decides to give her a makeover while playing matchmaker for her teachers and examining her own life. Filming took place in Southern California over a 40-day schedule. To develop an authentic depiction of 1990s teenage culture, Heckerling observed students at Beverly Hills High School and incorporated contemporary slang into the dialogue. The film was released by Paramount Pictures on July 19, 1995. It grossed $88 mil
