"Permanent Record" is a 1988 American drama film starring Keanu Reeves, Alan Boyce and Jennifer Rubin. It was filmed on location in Portland and Cannon Beach, Oregon.

Plot summary

David (Alan Boyce) seems to have everything. He is smart, talented, funny, and popular. He is best friends with Chris (Keanu Reeves), a quirky outsider. He seems to have it all together, yet his personal academic expectations and those of his parents become overwhelming,though he keeps his problems to himself. At a party with his school friends along the coast, he takes a walk to the edge of a cliff overlooking the ocean. Chris, playful as ever, decides to sneak up on his friend, but when he emerges from behind a rock, David is not there. He has fallen to his death. Originally assumed to be a horrible accident, the situation changes when Chris receives a suicide note in the mail. Chris and David's girlfriend Lauren (Jennifer Rubin) want to hold some type of memorial, but a reluctant school decides against it, leaving the kids to memorialize their friend in their own way. The movie primarily deals with the profound effect the suicide has on his friends, and how they work through their grief.

Soundtrack

The soundtrack featured five songs by Joe Strummer and The Latino Rockabilly War, as well as individual tracks by Lou Reed, The Stranglers, the BoDeans, The Godfathers, and JD Souther.
