The Virgin Suicides (DVD, 2000, Widescreen)

This docu-drama is a touching film about sisters who are isolated from social life by religious, overly concerned parents. The story begins with the suicide of the youngest sister. As the parents respond to her death, they do so by overly protecting their remaining daughters.

Sad, tragic, and very beautifully told. Sofia Coppola does an amazing job directing this true story of 3 desperate girls trying to grow up and make their voices heard by parents who don't want to hear.

Fast Delivery, Great Condition, Product Description was accurate and satisfactory. Would def. buy from you again!

This is a very good movie. It is kind of a loose story but then again it is about middle and high school children. It's perfect in that it floats around from situation to situation just like the mind of a teenager. There are some big names in the movie but they do not overshadow the story.

I give this 4/5 stars.

I liked the movie, unsure if it was true story, according to the bonus faeture may have been true. A very good movie, I can't beleave it to be a true story, no clear answer to why they killed themselves. Josh hartnett was great, loved the wig. Michael Pare made a good likeness of josh in later years. I would advise everyone to see it. Does touch on teen sucide, not sure if this story is true? Overall I enjoyed the movie.

The movie was fantastic. I enjoyed it very much. I still wonder why it is named as if all the suicides were virgin, since the one was obviously not a virgin at all.

This was a good little movie about the unreasonable upbringing of some teenage girls and the damage that is done to them emotionally. Its plot is very emotional and realistic but it does let the watcher understand why the mother is so strict. It also show that sometimes not allowing teens the interaction with the opposite sex their age can have drastic results when they do by chance get a small opportunity. I like it because it did deliver a message but the only draw back is was the message intense enough to really let parents know the in and outs and how to help teens deal with teenage life.

I WAS DISAPPOINTED ON THE THEME OF THIS MOVIE,IT SHOULD HAVEBEEN A BIOGAFIC OF THE WAS KIDS OF A STRICKT FAMILY COPES WITH THE EVERDAY WAY OF LIFE

Much less how HOTT Josh Hartnett is! LMAO! This move really is good. Kirsten Dunst is a really good actress for her age in this movie. She had to play a suicidal, crazed out pre-teen. She did an awesome job. Too bad she kills herself!

A lot viewer's know that Sofia Coppola is not much of a great actress, but she seems to have inherited some of her father's talents in this film. Coppola knows how to get the best from her actors and a few "coming of age" films have the sensual, dream-like quality as this 1974 look at upper middle class American suburbia.

Written and directed by her, this mesmerizing account of adolescent sexual socialization (set in the posh suburbs of 1974 Detroit) has a bittersweet quality, yet is tragic as well. A group of young teenage boys come into contact with five bewitchingly beautiful teenage sisters in their affluent neighborhood. Each savor the short time they have with these girls, who are extremely overprotected by their devout Catholic parents (Woods and Turner).

Humorous, sensual, and highly evocative of "boy-meets-girl awkwardness" as seen through the boys' eyes, this film is a tribute to an American way of life not unlike "American Beauty". However, the dreaminess comes to an abrupt end... an "awakening", if you will... by the boys as they come to grips with a tragedy they are barely able to comprehend Sofia Coppola is an immensely talented filmmaker. She recreates the 70's era effortlessly, and allows the characters to all be real people instead of mere thumbnail sketches.

While this movie might lack a standard plot structure it succeeds dramatically in capturing the mood and feel of a certain generation. Obviously this movie will speak loudest to those who experience adolescence in the seventies but it also communicates strongly to all people recollecting that period of their lives. The great tragedy imparted in this movie is that of young beauty extinguished and the fruitless search to discover how this crime against nature could have occurred.

The cinematography is beautiful, never distracting but always full of genuinely real images, which served to offset the hallucination tone of the movie. There is a relaxed pace to the film, and I was drawn into the hazy, misty memories that make up the bulk of the story.

perfect; great condition; really good price; fast shipping; definetly buy from this seller again!!!!

It got here in a timely fashion, and was in good shape. I bought it because its a good movie. It was as he said it was. Nice job.
