~SOFIA COPPOLA: VIRGIN SUICIDE GIRL
THE VIRGIN SUICIDES (1999) – DIRECTED BY SOPHIA COPPOLA
REVIEWED BY NANCY SMITH. APRIL 19, 2011
I had a lot more fun, (as opposed to having just seen MEEK’S CUTOFF !!) – the next night, watching SOFIA COPPOLA’S – THE VIRGIN SUICIDES’ (1999) – which has has just popped up on: NETFLIX – INSTANTS !!
now there is a narrative, and a real slice of the American pie – which even though its story is hyper-fantastic – rings true all the way through. even to getting dumped on the football field – after the big prom nite . . .
JAMES WOODS takes the cake as the dad. A young JOSH HARTNETT, in a midnight blue velvet suit !! – is to die for. (apparently, literally) . . .
and a young KIRSTEN DUNST – oh la la. pioneer American rose in the blooming.
the LISBON girls: THERESE, LUX (KIRSTEN DUNST), MARY and BONNIE.
at first there were five . .
