I had already discoverd the genius of American Beauty, but I hadn's seen The Virgin Suicides, Sophia Copolla's first film. This is a terrific combination

Shed a tear . . . a tragic and sad film of twisted family values gone mad.
The viewer is treated to a panorama of the girls rooms and their possessions which give a window only we have to the exquisitely sensitive and fine nature of these young women. The boys they meet at school and in the neighborhood are unable to meet their needs on any level . . . and in the case of Lex her dreamy fantasy of mystic love is a casualty of a young mans misunderstanding of himself and what a man, love and sex is really about.
The neighborhood boys try and help where adults should have been; seen through their compassionate but naive eyes these beautiful girls head for a train wreck. A cold selfish and domineering mother and an emotionally impotent and distant father combine to destroy these delicate lives. And the most society can do to help any of these lovely girls is to report on the suicide of the youngest on TV. Their society club mocks their pain . . . a disgraceful indictment of American family values at their worst.
