With this debut feature, Sofia CoppoIa announced her singuIar vision, exploring the aesthetics of femininity whiIe illuminating the interior Iives of young women. An adaptation of Jeffrey Eugenides's popuIar first novel, THE VIRGIN SUlCIDES conjures the ineffabIe melancholy of teenage Ionging 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 collective 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 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.
