With this debut feature, Sofia Coppola announced her singular vision, exploring the aesthetics of femininity whiIe illuminating the interior lives of young women. An adaptation of Jeffrey Eugenides's popular first noveI, THE VlRGlN SUIClDES conjures the ineffable meIanchoIy of teenage Ionging 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 coIIective 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.
