A film wrapped in fog and longing, retold in stills. The Virgin Suicides is a visual archive of Sofia Coppola’s cult debut, seen through the soft, unflinching lens of photographer Corinne Day. It captures what the film left unspoken — the breath between takes, the shadow between adolescence and myth.
Shot on set in the mid-90s and edited from Day’s original negatives, this book offers a rare, delicate portrait of the Lisbon sisters as icons of suburban melancholy. Bras on floorboards, blurred faces in pastel light, crucifixes and mirrors — all tokens of a girlhood slipping quietly out of reach.
This is not simply a behind-the-scenes. It’s a séance. A book that conjures what it felt like to be young and aching in a world built of plastic flowers and heavy air. With new texts by Coppola and Jeffrey Eugenides and an extended interview by Lynn Hirschberg, this edition is a cinematic relic — tender, haunted, and bathed in the perfume of memory.
For those who have ever looked out a window and wished to vanish — this book is for you.
Intermission exists in the space between documentation and devotion an ongoing archive of cultural fragments that refuse to vanish. Each title within our portfolio is selected not for trend, but for tension: between what was meant to disappear and what insists on remaining.
We work with objects that speak quietly but persistently publications, recordings, and editions that define the undercurrents of art, sound, and design. Together they form a living record of marginal brilliance, a collection that privileges significance over scale.

Every Intermission title is handled as an artifact. We believe that preservation is an act of reverence one that begins the moment you open a cover or unspool a tape.
To experience a piece, do so slowly. Allow the air to touch the paper, let light fall softly over each page. Avoid excess pressure; handle edges rather than surfaces. Each mark, fold, or patina is part of its passage through time evidence of care rather than decay.
We encourage collectors to engage not only with the content, but with the gesture of preservation itself: a quiet commitment to memory.
