The Virgin Suicides

The Virgin Suicides

9:30pm - Sunday, Sep 22, 2024

In an ordinary suburban house, on a lovely tree-lined street, in the middle of 1970s America, lived the five beautiful, dreamy Lisbon sisters, whose doomed fates indelibly marked the neighborhood boys who to this day continue to obsess over them. A story of love and repression, fantasy and terror, sex and death, memory and longing. It is at its core a mystery story: a heart-rending investigation into the impenetrable, life-altering secrets of American adolescence. Featuring an epic soundtrack from the French electronic band AIR and memorable performances from Kirsten Dunst, Josh Hartnett, James Woods, Kathleen Turner, Scott Glenn, Danny DeVito.

"Sofia Coppola's visually arresting adaptation of Jeffrey Eugenides' cocktail-talk novel is pure aesthetic candy; her saturated colors, pitch-perfect '70s sensibility, and snapshot editing produce an unsettling modern fairy tale." (Time Out)

"A surprisingly intricate struggle with absence, grief, and memory." (New Yorker)

"Tender and devastating." (Slant Magazine)

"A disarmingly poetic - and specifically female - vision of adolescence that it belongs in a category of its own." (Seattle Times)
