The Virgin Suicides

2000, Sofia Coppola

4.5/5

The Virgin Suicides is a 1999 American psychological drama film written and directed by Sofia Coppola, co-produced by Francis Ford Coppola, and starring James Woods, Kathleen Turner, Kirsten Dunst, AJ Cook and Josh Hartnett. The film also features Scott Glenn, Michael Paré and Danny DeVito in minor roles, with voice narration by Giovanni Ribisi.

The Virgin Suicides is based on the 1993 best-selling debut novel of the same name by the American author Jeffrey Eugenides. The film follows the lives of five attractive adolescent sisters in an upper-middle-class suburb of Detroit during the mid-1970s. After the youngest sister, Cecilia, makes an initial suicide attempt, all of the girls are put under close scrutiny by their religious, overprotective parents. The girls are eventually withdrawn from school and confined to their home, which leads to their increasingly depressive and isolated behavior. As in the novel, the film is told in first person plural, from the perspective of a group of adolescent boys in the neighborhood who are fascinated by the girls.

If you like The Virgin Suicides, you might also like 1999 Directorial Debut Films, 1990s Teen Drama Films, Women And Death, and 1999 Drama Films.

This Kind Of Vibes

Dark Academy. Brown leafs on the sidewalk. Salty tears. Sweet Smile. Aching heart. Black sheeps. Being Comfortably numb. Teenage days confusion. Escapism, in a good way.
