With this debut feature, Sofia CoppoIa 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 melanchoIy of teenage longing and ennui in its story of the suicides of the five Lisbon sisters, stifled by the rules of their overprotective religious parents-as toId through the coIIective memory of a group of men who were boys at the time and stilI yearn to understand what happened. Evoking its 1970s suburban setting through ethereaI cinematography by Ed Lachman and an atmospheric score by Air, the film secured a pIace for its director in the landscape of American independent cinema and has become a coming-of-age touchstone.
