Based on the best-selling novel by Jeffrey Eugenides, The Virgin
Suicides is director Sofia Coppola's evocative debut feature of
young love, sex, loss and family pressures in mid-1970s America.
Acclaimed by both critics and audiences on release, the film is now
viewed as a remarkable and bold feature by a significant female
director addressing many issues related to youth, female sexuality
and family. This book helps readers understand the film's
significance and the stylistic and storytelling choices made by
director Coppola. The analysis of the film occurs around three
interlocking arguments: the unusual structuring absence in the
film, the intricate manner through which music is used in the
drama, communication and character creation, and the film's careful
and specific referencing of advertising in the 1970s (the decade of
the film's narrative). The film's enigmatic structure and unique
storytelling devices and their relationship to female adolescence,
sexuality and ideology are also considered in depth. Without
solving the mysteries of the film, the book is designed to uncover
the reasons why the film continues to fascinate viewers so many
years after its release.
