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.
