help The Virgin Suicides FAQ
Who is narrating The Virgin Suicides?
The story is narrated collectively by neighborhood boys who remain fascinated by the five Lisbon sisters as adults. Their incomplete memories and collected objects mean the film never offers a fully authoritative explanation for the sisters' deaths.
Why are the Lisbon sisters confined to their house?
After Lux misses curfew following the homecoming dance, Mr. and Mrs. Lisbon remove the girls from school and isolate them at home. The confinement intensifies after Cecilia's suicide and reflects the parents' increasingly strict attempt to control the family.
What role does Trip Fontaine play in Lux's story?
Trip, played by Josh Hartnett, pursues Lux and persuades the Lisbons to let the sisters attend the homecoming dance. He abandons Lux on the football field afterward, an event that helps trigger the severe restrictions imposed on all five sisters.
Who created the music for The Virgin Suicides?
The French duo Air composed the film's original score, including the track Playground Love. Sofia Coppola's 1999 film also uses period songs by artists such as Heart and Electric Light Orchestra to shape its hazy 1970s atmosphere.
