“The Virgin Suicides”

Based on Jeffrey Eugenides’ debut novel, published in 1993, “The Virgin Suicides” premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in May 1999 and hit theaters in April 2000. The film boasts an impressive cast, including Kathleen Turner, James Woods, Kirsten Dunst, and Josh Hartnett, with an all-star supporting cast featuring Scott Glenn, Jonathan Tucker, Michael ParΓ©, Danny DeVito, and Hayden Christensen.
The story takes place in a quiet suburb of Grosse Pointe, Michigan, where a group of boys grew up and had a profound encounter with the five Lisbon sisters.
Now grown, the boys reflect on the time they spent as teens with the sisters, and the memories that have haunted them ever since. The girls’ parents, with their overprotective Catholic home, may have driven them to madness, but the boys remember the love they all shared for the girls.


This psychological romantic drama is a powerful and thought-provoking film that explores themes of love, loss, and the complexities of the human experience. While its dark nature may be disturbing, the story is told in an elegant way, with amazing performances from the entire cast. Despite its challenging subject matter, “The Virgin Suicides” is a film that lingers in the mind long after the credits roll.
