Film: The Virgin Suicides

Released in 1999, The Virgin Suicides, Sofia Coppola's directorial debut, comes from the namesake novel by Jeffrey Eugenides (The Virgin Suicides , Mondadori 1994). Like the book, the film mixes the tones, in turn elegiac, funny, outrageous, and focuses on atmosphere more that on the plot. Fascinated - as also reflected in later films - the one that the critic has called the site Emanuele Boccianti Offscreen "the instant of zero growth path of a woman", the American director takes the inspiration provided by reconstructing the past few months Eugenides life of the five Lisbon sisters through the eyes and voices of a group of neighborhood kids fascinated by these beautiful girls, and unhappy. A sort of greek chorus together painful and seconded that, to quote the critic Michiko Kakutani's review of the novel on the New York Times , has the effect of "transport us to that mythical realm where fate, not the meaning Common or psychology, to dictate law ".
