The Virgin Suicides
Sofia Coppola / US, 1999 / 97 min.
Sofia Coppola’s dreamy and subtly melancholic debut about five stunningly beautiful but tragic sisters, whose collective suicide remains a mystery. Kirsten Dunst plays a magnificent part. The film’s ethereal and enigmatic style is supported by a fine score by Air and completed with '70s hits. New 4K restoration.
Sofia Coppola's adaptation of Jeffrey Eugenides’ eponymous novel set in 1974 in a Michigan suburb, where the five, mysterious Lisbon sisters are worshipped by the neighbourhood boys. The American Dream seems real, yet the family is dysfunctional. The sisters educated in a strict Christian manner by their parents (Kathleen Turner and James Woods) and yearn for freedom leading to an act of desperation.
