In picture-perfect Seventies American suburbia, 5 stunning teenage sisters all killed themselves. Their haunting, virtually legendary presence within the recollections of the younger boys who knew them is mirrored upon in The Virgin Suicides. The boys, now grownup males, longingly look again on Lux (Kirsten Dunst), Mary (A.J. Prepare dinner), Cecilia (Hannah R. Corridor), Therese (Leslie Hayman) and Bonnie Lisbon (Chelsea Swain), in Sofia Coppola’s haunting and elegiac portrait of girlhood and American adolescence.
The Virgin Suicides continues to be a favourite amongst movie followers to at the present time, and is commonly thought to be Coppola’s greatest movie (it was additionally, notably, her directorial debut). With its tone-poem interpretation of teenage angst, empathetic exploration of feminine coming-of-age and unshakeable, infectious melancholy, The Virgin Suicides stays as mysterious as the sensation of falling in love for the primary time.
