I was looking through my DVDs this morning and my eyes fell upon Sofia Coppola's 1999 film The Virgin Suicides and I randomly decided that I needed to do one of my "grab a bunch of images from the movie and post them, thereby mostly wordlessly highlighting the visual beauty of what I deem an under-appreciated film" posts... even though you could easily argue that Suicides isn't really that under-appreciated, it has been awhile since I've given the film much thought or seen anything on it, so I am saying that negligence perhaps on only my own part counts. Ta-dah!

Ta-dah!Coppola's film is really lovely to look at though. It's like the cinematic equivalent of coming upon and leafing through a box of doodled-upon Joni Mitchell albums, all sunflares and long blond hair. Well, that is when things are tipped to the wistful end of the spectrum... most of the scenes of oppressive claustrophobia within the Lisbon household are appropriately shot with an entirely different pallete - flat and cold, uninviting. And then there's that amazing sea-green fog of a final scene...
Anyhoo it's sorta fitting with this month at MNPP being all about the dead virgins, no?
And just because:
Stone fox.
