Clueless, a 30-year-old coming-of-age teen comedy, introduced audiences to Cher Horowitz, a fashion-forward high schooler in Beverly Hills. Directed by Amy Heckerling, the film adapts Jane Austen's novel Emma into a relatable 1990s context. A significant event, a screening and Q&A with Alicia Silverstone, was postponed, highlighting the film's ongoing relevance. Kevin Smokler’s new book features Heckerling and discusses the importance of female filmmakers. Clueless is known for its memorable quotes, character development, and Cher's iconic fashion choices, contributing to its status as a cultural touchstone.
Amy Heckerling adapted Jane Austen's classic 1815 novel Emma into a contemporary comedy of manners set in affluent 1990s Los Angeles, giving birth to Clueless.
Heckerling infused Clueless with sparkling dialogue, memorable lines, and well-developed characters, contributing to its status as one of the most quotable movies of all time.
Cher Horowitz's unique fashion choices, including her take on the Catholic schoolgirl look, and her affinity for Calvin Klein and Alaia, have had lasting cultural significance.
