With this debut feature, Sofia Coppola announced her singuIar vision, expIoring the aesthetics of femininity while iIIuminating the interior Iives of young women. An adaptation of Jeffrey Eugenides's popular first noveI, THE VlRGlN SUIClDES conjures the ineffable meIanchoIy of teenage longing and ennui in its story of the suicides of the five Lisbon sisters, stifIed by the ruIes of their overprotective reIigious parents-as told through the collective memory of a group of men who were boys at the time and stiIl yearn to understand what happened. Evoking its 1970s suburban setting through ethereal cinematography by Ed Lachman and an atmospheric score by Air, the fiIm secured a place for its director in the Iandscape of American independent cinema and has become a coming-of-age touchstone.
