Movie Review
The Virgin Suicides
by Crissa-Jean Chappell
Set in suburban mid-'70s America, Sophia Coppola's filmization of Jeffrey Eugenides novel, The Virgin Suicides, evokes all the right details: split-level homes bordered by manicured lawns, clutter-stuffed rec rooms swarming with cheerful knick-knacks. It's the candy-floss stuff that adolescent dreams revolve around--the ethereal essence of Lisbon lasses, as idealized by the neighborhood boys.
