BOOK THE VIRGIN SUICIDES BY SOFIA COPPOLA

For her first feature film, The Virgin Suicides, Sofia Coppola enlisted British fashion photographer Corinne Day to accompany her on the shooting set. Recognized for her raw and unadorned photographs of iconic models from the 90s, Day's representation of female beauty found its complement in Coppola, whose debut marked the beginning of her sincere and empathetic portraits of femininity.

Edited from Day's original negatives, this volume - released on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of The Virgin Suicides - offers a hypnotic and unprecedented look at Coppola's enigmatic staging of the Lisbon sisters and their suburban world.

In Day's photographs, the lush mystery of Coppola's set is manifested in images of young actors working and between takes, with spontaneous poses and thoughtful expressions that reflect the intimate and collaborative atmosphere of the filming. Fragments of costume and set design appear suggestively - crucifixes, pink lace bras, party dresses, beauty products, and caramel apples - all key elements in Coppola's portrayal of the longing and repression of adolescence.

Completed with new texts by Sofia Coppola and Jeffrey Eugenides, this volume opens a fascinating dialogue between Eugenides' original text and Coppola's cult adaptation.
