If you haven’t familiarized yourself with a Sophia Coppola film yet, then evidently you’re missing out on one of the greatest filmmakers of our time.
I remember watching The Virgin Suicides when I was just 13-years-old. The film centers around the five Lisbon sisters, who commit suicide one by one, over the course of a year in the 1970′s.
Coppola’s adaptation of the 1993 novel probably wasn’t the most influential film for a girl of 13 to be watching. But despite the film’s dark demeanor, I found myself falling utterly in love with the eccentricity and innocence the Lisbon sisters (played by Kirsten Dunst, Hanna Hall, A.J Cook, Leslie Hayman, and Chelse Swain) possessed.
