The Virgin Suicides (2000?)


The Virgin Suicides is a film that will definitely stay with you. I don't know how much general audiences will know about it, but this is a film that handles several things with a beautiful subtlety and delicacy that is surprising for a film like this. Or so you think. There's definite humor and angst in this, but the overall effect is a punch to the gut. The screenplay is fantastic, but more notable is Coppola's touch. It's quite difficult to handle a film like this because the tones could vary so much and the end result could easily be a failure, but again, she ultimately makes this be a melancholic, effective but never heavy handed or over the top exercise, one that stands as far more effective than almost any teenage film existing.

2000 because it came out in 2000 in US, right? This is my second Coppola film, my first being Lost in Translation, and it's so much better.
