The virgin suicides: like what??
ok so last night i rented and watched the Virgin Suicides, the 2000 film written and directed by Sofia Coppolla, a director i trust and (usually) like her work. A friend of mine reccomended this movie to me a long time ago, calling it one of her favorite movies. Plus i still had a good taste in my mouth from the last Sofia Coppolla movie i saw, Marie Antoinette, which i thought was breathtaking, wonderful, the whole bit. So i thought i would give this Virgin Suicides a shot. Slow moving, and artsy like Coppollas other movies, this movie just flat out confused me. I didnt know, and still dont, what exactly she was trying to say to me. To me it was just five blond sisters who lead a happy life, except for the fact that they have insanely strict parents who dont let them do anything. Then they all kill themselves?? It was all also so anti-climactic and didn't have anything to say, in my opinion. I just really didnt get it. If anybody else has seen it and wants to discuss or clear it all up for me, that would be excellent. Was it symbolic of something else?? im so confused........

it was weird and i love kirsten dunst....apparently so does copolla cuz shes used her a few times. but i have to somewhat disagree with you on marie antoinette. i totally had my hopes up for that movie and i think it was a lot like the virgin suicides in the lack of climax. it was very slow and didnt really have a point in sight much like the virgin suicides.
Weelll I have never heard of Sophia Coppella. But "The Virgin Suicides" is an interesting title for a movie. If you hadn't given it such a bad review I probably would have thought about checking it out... But then again, I might just check it out anyway just to be exposed to something new.
