The Virgin Suicides 4K 1999

For a long time I wanted to see this film, because before this one I had read Jeffrey Eugenides' novel 'The Suicide Virgins', I was struck to the core, it took me a long time to come to my senses...

Finally, I found the film. Of course, a lot is missing from the film when compared to the original book. However, I liked that the meaning of the dialogues, the meaning of the film as a whole was not affected. Many of the important, in my opinion, dialogues were removed, but those that made it to the screen, exactly as the text.

The story, the atmosphere, the shooting, the music, which envelops you, envelopes you and never lets you go, you fall in love with it immediately and unconditionally. I don't think about whether the girls had a way out. I thought about that when I read the book. I watched the movie just enjoying every moment. One can argue about this for a long time. You can be sympathetic to the girls, or you can be cruelly judgmental and reproachful of the stupidity and weakness inherent in age.I won't do either of those things. I'm just going to watch. Watch it over and over again.

I loved the camerawork, the shots of the sunny town, the rays of sunlight through the foliage, the neat little houses that resemble each other to the point of rejection...the dying, withering in their rightness town. Many episodes in the film were very moving. For example, the episode where Lux wakes up in the morning in the middle of the soccer field, with her shoes and crown from last night scattered nearby. The prom queen, who in the morning, humiliated, broken, empty, goes home in a cab. The episode in which the boys communicate with their sisters through their favorite records...over the phone...just brings such pain inside when you see the boys' faces frozen with mysterious smiles on them - as if they have comprehended some mystery, and at the other end of the line are four young blond girls with sad smiles looking nowhere...And all this to the delightful music of the 70s. Be Gees, Gilbert OSullivan.

The ending of the movie is also scary.

You don't even come to your senses right away after this movie - so much does it break your usual consciousness. You can't even tell if you liked it. You just sit there and be silent. And you know for sure that you'll always be drawn to this movie, and you'll watch it more than once.
