The Virgin Suicides
1999
***
Director: Sofia Coppola
Cast: Kirsten Dunst, James Woods, Kathleen Turner, Hannah Hall

Sofia Coppola's first film is an offbeat story about a suicidally dysfunctional family. It's clear that she's not out to make a feelgood film, but once it's over you feel oddly indifferent. James Woods is wonderfully cast against type. Adapted from a novel by Jeffrey Eugenides. A nice soundtrack by Air.
