The next entry in our Party Like It’s 1999 series is The Virgin Suicides, Sofia Coppola’s dreamlike directorial debut.
The story of five sisters, and their mysterious existence growing up in the 1970s. The film follows the chain of events initiated by one of the Lisbon sisters’ suicide attempt, and its effects on their family, their suburban town and most importantly, the young men who loved the Lisbons from afar and whose words provide the narrative for the film.
Praised for its dark, elliptical tone since its premiere at the 1999 Cannes Film Festival, The Virgin Suicides boldly announced one of American cinema’s most essential voices.
