I just watched the Virgin Suicides and despite the heavy subject matter and the sadness paired with it, the film is without a doubt one of the most beautiful films I have seen recently. I spent the entire movie screen shooting as many photos as possible for inspiration. So here are some of the reasons I am so intrigued by the work of Sofia.
I loved how many similarities there were between this movie and Marie Antoinette, which also starred Kirsten Dunst.
The color composition in both was very similar: light pinks and blues for the lively girls...
... while the more traditional elders donned classic reds and navys.
Sofia certainly showed her mastery of mixing florals in both films.
There were also a few scenes similar between the movies. Here is Kirsten in each film looking out the window reminiscing the memory of a past love.
Even the way that each movies concluded was strikingly similar. Both families left their home behind and the movie ends showing the emptiness, the only difference being that one home had slightly grander light fixtures.
So in short, I am very inspired right now and want to look for similarities in all of Sofia's movies, but alas, it is 2 in the morning. I shall just have to watch them next week. Well darlings, I entreat you to watch these films even if it's just for the sets and the costumes. You will be entranced I assure you. Be sure to dream of happy beautiful places like Versailles tonight, my sweets. Au revoir.
