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.

78

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.

THE ORIGINAL SUICIDE SQUAD.

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

the group of boys: maybe they’re born with it

me: OR MAYBE ... JUST MAYBE .... it’s mental illness innit

Probably would have loved this in high school. I really shouldn’t compare it to Mysterious Skin because they’re both completely different movies doing completely different things but if we’re talking movies about teenagers that understand angst and deal with heavier subject matter, Mysterious Skin is a movie that really does the damn thing. 

This just felt a little too muddy and drowned out in it’s own ideas. Interesting but definitely left me wanting more. I know a lot of people claim this as Coppola’s best but in my stupid little opinion she tweaked everything this was missing in her later work. Made me want to watch Bling Ring.

boring white people movie

“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. coppola blood must have genius running through it. 

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.

Sofia Coppola knows good music she ALWAYS has the most bangin soundtracks. Sofia if you see this please give me your info so I can follow you on Spotify

Sofia Coppola really makes the best movies about depressed white women huh?

Unos niños nos relatan la vida de 5 hermanas con una vida muy distinta a la común gracias a sus padres. Unas jóvenes con muchas ganas de vivir bajo un techo sin amor o compasión. Romances, dramas, curiosidad, creatividad, son sensaciones que anhelan estas niñas.
La heredera del trono del cine nos deleita con su debut en el cine con esta obra maestra, Sophia Coppola.

u will see danny devito within the first couple of minutes of the movie 😁👍🏽 

the first time i watched this i had no clue what it was going to be about i read no description no summary of it and..wow 😶

I like that there was as much mystery left for us as it was for the narrator. We know about the girls through the eyes of intrusive outsiders so the curiosity always remains. Visually, it is so soft and gentle, very cool 70s vibes to it. It was better than I remembered.

Who are y’all trying to fool by calling Kirsten Dunst 14 years old in this movie??
The Virgin Suicides is something I should’ve watched after getting ghosted so I could relate in the exact moment.

watching this is like a memory from childhood the religious guilt the sadness the soundtrack by air the boys i just couldnt love

I’d been meaning to watch this for quite a while now. At times it gave me similar vibes to NOW AND THEN and STAND BY ME. It just winds up much more tragic in the end. I also didn’t quite understand how the boys never understood why the girls felt depressed and suicidal. I mean, the narrator speaks repeatedly about how controlling and fundamentally strict the parents are, I think one could at least start with that as a theory. Anyhow, it’s a sad story that’s beautifully told and it looks fantastic. Coppola made the whole film look like old photographs you might find in your grandparents’ garage.

I love suburbia as a backdrop.
Also gonna have to check out the rest of Sofia Coppola’s work
