In an ordinary suburban house, on a lovely tree-lined street, in the middle of 1970s America, lived the five beautiful, dreamy Lisbon sisters (including boy-crazy Lux, played by KIRSTEN DUNST), whose doomed fates indelibly marked the neighborhood boys who to this day continue to obsess over them. SOFIA COPPOLA’s directorial debut (based on the novel by JEFFREY EUGENIDES) is a story of love and repression, fantasy and terror, sex and death, memory and longing. It is at its core a mystery story: a heart-rending investigation into the impenetrable, life-altering secrets of American adolescence.
