THE VIRGIN SUICIDES (1999, dir. Sofia Coppola) centers on the Lisbon sisters, five sisters in 1970s suburbia who all die by suicide. Framed by the recollection of the teenage boys who were fascinated by them, this beautiful and striking dreamscape of a film tries to lay bare the complicated minds of teenage girls.
Darrell joins Janine and Amelia to discuss this movie, the three of them examining this movie from their unique perspectives in relation to their understandings of femininity and girlhood.
