Review
Box Office, 09/01/1999, p.143, "...There are nice moments throughout, and Coppola has done a deft job evoking the spirit of the film's period and suburban setting..." Los Angeles Times, 04/21/2000, p.F6, "...Sofia Coppola shows an impressive maturity and an assured skill....The result is a highly affecting film unafraid to exact an emotional toll..." Premiere, 05/2000, p.22, "...[The film is] disarmingly wispy....[The virgins] are blessed with great luminosity..." New York Times, 05/26/2000, p.E18, "...The movie's best moments have an inspired feeling of playfulness and freedom matched by Ms. Dunst's smart, beguiling performance as Lux Lisbon..." Film Comment, 03/01/2000, p.73-5, "...The director captures the novel's intrinsic nostalgia for the loss of adolescence..." Chicago Sun-Times, 05/05/2000, p.35, "...THE VIRGIN SUICIDES is Sofia Coppola's first film....She has the courage to play it in a minor key....She is content with the air of mystery and loss that hangs in the air like bitter poignancy..." Total Film, 06/01/2000, p.81, "...This sublimely confident and poetic debut has the power to endure..." -- 4 out of 5 stars Entertainment Weekly, 05/19/2000, p.49, "...Coppola does a lovely job of staging the romance..."

Product Notes
Based on the 1993 novel by Jeffrey Eugenides, THE VIRGIN SUICIDES tells the dreamlike tale of the Lisbons, a family living in a sheltered 1970s suburbia. When Cecilia (Hannah Hall), the youngest of the five teenage Lisbon daughters, inexplicably commits suicide, the rest of the family--Mr. Lisbon (James Woods), an awkward high school math teacher; Mrs. Lisbon (Kathleen Turner), a stern, humorless housewife; and the four remaining sisters: Lux (Kirsten Dunst), Bonnie (Chelse Swain), Mary (A.J. Cook), and Therese (Leslie Hayman)--recedes into a morbid cloud of repression and denial. As the girls are forced to retreat from everyday life by their conservative mother, they become the subject of fascination for a group of neighborhood boys, who narrate the story and hope to rescue the girls from their listless confinement.
