the virgin suicides issue


Sophia Coppola may not be a brilliant actor (aka her disastrous attempts at acting in The Godfather) but I absolutely adore her aesthetic endeavours in the films she directs. One of my favourites is The Virgin Suicides in which a brilliant hazy photographic style compliments a both lovely and tragic story.
I personally love the way in which the misguided youth is depicted in this film. Innocence and passion, humour and poetry is so well captured through this play of murky, distorted colour and hazy eerie photography.
