THE VIRGIN SUICIDES (1999) in 35mm at Bleak Week
Details
Slip into the dreamy, melancholy world of Sofia Coppola’s The Virgin Suicides with a rare 35mm screening, perfectly placed inside Bleak Week: Cinema of Despair. This is one of those films that lingers in your mind for days, with hazy suburban nostalgia, haunting narration, and a soundtrack that feels like a half-remembered summer.
Experience the Lisbon sisters’ story the way it was meant to be seen: flickering on film, with all the texture, grain, and atmosphere that digital just can’t quite capture. From the sun-drenched yards to the suffocating living room scenes, every frame feels like a photograph pulled from a secret shoebox.
Whether you’re a longtime fan or finally catching this cult favorite for the first time, this screening is a chance to sink into Coppola’s signature blend of teen angst, dark humor, and bittersweet beauty alongside a crowd that’s just as obsessed with movies as you are.
- Part of Bleak Week: a festival devoted to emotionally intense, unflinching cinema
- Shown from a true 35mm print for that warm, vintage movie-house vibe
- Ideal for fans of atmospheric, character-driven films and thoughtful coming-of-age stories
- A great pick if you love Sofia Coppola, ensemble casts, and unforgettable soundtracks
Come ready for a slow-burn, emotionally heavy, strangely funny night at the movies that might just become one of your core film memories.
