Article
The Virgin Suicides is a 1999 American psychological drama film written and directed by Sofia Coppola in her feature directorial debut, and co-produced by her father, Francis Ford Coppola. Based on the 1993 debut novel by Jeffrey Eugenides, it stars James Woods, Kathleen Turner, Kirsten Dunst, A.J. Cook, and Josh Hartnett, with Scott Glenn, Michael Paré, Jonathan Tucker, and Danny DeVito in supporting roles. The film follows the lives of five adolescent sisters in an upper-middle-class suburb of Detroit in 1975.
Shot in 1998 in Toronto, it features an original score by the French electronic band Air. The film marked the first collaboration between Coppola and Dunst, whom Coppola later cast as the lead in several of her subsequent films.
