Come see The Virgin Suicides presented with 35mm Projection on the big screen in L3!

Childhood friends reminisce upon five sisters, who were brought up in a strictly religious household. The fundamentals of Sofia Coppola’s debut film appear pedestrian enough, yet her gentle, dreamlike compositions infuse the coming-of-age narrative with ethereality and uncertainty. Perhaps the overwhelming emotion that I was struck with upon watching The Virgin Suicides was confusion – yet this is not meant as criticism. While you spend a lot of time with the characters, you never quite understand them; mirroring the rigid isolation enforced upon Lux and her sisters, the viewer is constantly distanced, forced to construct an approximation of character without ever fully comprehending such. While this ambiguity may leave some unsatisfied or indeed confused, Coppola constructs a visceral portrait of adolescent angst, aided by remarkable performances from Kirsten Dunst and Josh Hartnett. Against the bombast of Sinners and Interstellar, The Virgin Suicides is a quieter, quainter alternative on this term’s schedule that will undoubtedly appeal to fans of its genre. [Sam Ripley]
