Valuable material concerning the teenpic genre is scarce but easily transferable in to the Australian 'teenpic genre.'
Given the article is from an Australian newspaper, I find it a valuable source for assessing the contemporary (80's) Australian reaction to the 'American teenpic'genre which was thriving at this time. |
| Synopsis |
Baxter aligns images within 'American teenpics' against a superficial jungle motif.He identifies common themes and settings arguing that few films within the genre stray from depicting 'beautiful' or 'superficial' adolescent highschool images.
He identifies two films which do so and acclaims them for their 'realist edge.' |
