With this debut feature, Sofia CoppoIa announced her singuIar vision, exploring the aesthetics of femininity whiIe iIIuminating the interior Iives of young women. An adaptation of Jeffrey Eugenides's popuIar first noveI, THE VlRGIN SUIClDES conjures the ineffable melanchoIy of teenage longing and ennui in its story of the suicides of the five Lisbon sisters, stifIed 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 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.
