  Do you have a film that makes you so happy but so completely sad at the same time? Because this film, this hazy and soft and sparkly film is mine.

  So impenetrable, sleepy, unsettling and fierce. For me, it isn't really a question of why the Lisbon sisters do what they do, but why so many people look at them with confusion, mystery, and detachment in their mind and fantasies. Why does Trip leave the football field that night, exactly? It certainly isn't post-sex ennui. Rather, it stems from the male dominance refusing to come to terms with someone complex, someone who needs not to be judged but simply understood as another person, in all their flaws and fuzzy grey areas. The only constant, real-life individuals are the Lisbon sisters - everyone else is attempting to enter a dream-world that doesn't exist, suddenly being given consequences to their elusive actions.

  One of the most predominantly memorable, yet overlooked shots in Sofia Coppola's 1999 masterpiece is a shot of a Japanese parasol next to Cecilia during her first attempted suicide. A parasol from a culture which treats suicide differently, where an act which seems cowardly or immature in other societies is seen culturally as an act of honor.

  The Lisbon girls are but shadows. Their faces once remembered vividly by the neighborhood boys are almost completely diminished. All that's left if the mysteriously beautiful times they shared before a future was lost. 

  Just like their very own tree on their front lawn, the Lisbon girls appear normal but are extremely sick. The comprehension of the surrounding citizens as to what was…

  Kind of amazing how Sofia Coppola made a stylized movie out of, what is essentially, the color beige in film form

  This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  What is now most iconic about Sofia Coppola’s THE VIRGIN SUICIDES is the predominant colour in the Lisbon girls’ bedrooms: the pale pink on their walls, lipsticks and knickers has even gotten its own name, ‘millennial pink,’ possibly revealing the aesthetic impact this film has had on a whole generation of filmgoers. But what gets forgotten in this superficial praise –countless fashion shoots have taken cues from the close-up on Kirsten Dunst lying on a grassy football field in her floaty white dress under the rose morning light- are the virgin suicides themselves. And ironically, the film itself is all about how people, especially boys, were too fascinated by the girls to get to know and understand them.

  Aged 13…

  Review by Bethany ★★★★★ 7

  “what lingered after them was not life, but the most trivial list of mundane facts: a clock ticking on a wall, a room dim at noon, and the outrageousness of a human being thinking only of herself.”

  the virgin suicides has always made me feel like i’m in a hazy, fragile, feminine dream. it makes me feel sad but happy at the same time.

  this film shows us the unpredictability of adolescence and how our actions can affect those around us. the lisbon sisters are ethereal and angelic; the boys study their every move to a tee but they couldn’t ever possibly know how to put all of the pieces together.
