Meanwhile, here is the trailer for Sophia Coppola's 1999 film rendition of Jeffrey Eugenides' The Virgin Suicides. It's one hell of a good book; so good that I can't even begin to think of how to write a good review. The Lisbon girls are some of the most interesting characters I've ever come across (Lux and Cecilia, especially) and I particularly like how Eugenides decided to render the story through the neighborhood boys' perspective. Although the book was published in 1993, it still feels like a fresh read. (So much love for Jeffrey Eugenides! I'm definitely buying more of his books.)
On the other hand, the movie made me feel a bit dizzy. It's not bad. I just feel like it could have been better without those cheesy dreamy scenes of Lux moving around, which makes Kirsten Dunst look awkward.
