The directorial debut of Sofia Coppola. This adaptation of Jeffrey Eugenides’ novel tells the story of the Lisbon sisters, five angst-ridden teens living under the tight control of their repressive parents in 1970s suburbia. The Virgin Suicides is Coppola’s first collaboration with her eventual muse Kirsten Dunst, who gives a heartbreaking performance full of burgeoning sexuality. Also starring Kathleen Turner, James Woods & Josh Hartnett, and featuring a dreamy, mood-setting soundtrack by Air.
