Film: The Virgin Suicides

[beatology]

Based on the book by Jeffrey Eugenides and directed by Sofia Coppola. I really liked this film. It was rather surreal. The acting (James Woods, Kathleen Turner, Kirsten Dunst, Josh Hartnett) was really believable. I can't believe this one hasn't been discussed yet. Let me know your thoughts!!!

i dont know why there isnt a thread for this film either.

i liked the slow pace, the laggish camera movements, and best of all the soundtrack to this.

I love this film too. But for some reason, I've only ever seen it a handful of times. I think it might be due to the fact that the very idea of watching it has always been a slightly depressing thought to me. But having said that, I always seem to forget how hilarious this film is too. The humour is very subtle, but is one of the things I enjoy most about it. One of my favourite funny scenes is where Lux is forced to burn all her records.

Of all the Coppola films, Lost In Translation is my favourite, with Marie Antoinette sinking into third place.

4/5

Love love love this movie. One of my favorites.

Also, Air's Playground Love video from the movie is pretty sexy and lovely as well. It's directed by Sophia Coppola as well.

Love it.....love it so much. Slow, tantalizing, dreamy, sad. This is a perfect example of a fantastic book AND movie. The book is such a delicious read I don't ever want it to end.
