3/10/24

 I wish I had more opportunities to write or speak about one of my favorite films of all time. The Virgin Suicides. It was a visually beautiful movie and I remember rewatching it multiple times.

It's about these five sisters who are admired by neighborhood boys. These sisters, the Lisbon sisters, are described as beautiful by many. They all die at the end, of course. Well, the youngest Lisbon, Cecilia, dies at the beginning. She was the first to die. The other Lisbon's later commit suicide. The neighborhood boys really did not understand the girls, but still loved them.

It's a very bitter ending and story, but something about the imagery is beautiful to me. The whole film felt like a dream. I feel it gives a different view on how life is as a girl. I don't know.
