So for the past week it has been nothing but The Virgin Suicides. The book, the movie and the fabulous soundtrack. I’m not even sure how it got started. Maybe I saw a picture. Nonetheless, the week has been full of VS stunts and dedication. Like how today I listened to both soundtracks, continuously, for what I think was 8 hours straight. And last week when I drove through one of Winona’s older subdivisions from the late 6os/early 70s, looking for that VS quality in the homes and thinking how I will do a photo series in that subdivision this summer when it’s warm and green.
The book and the movie followed each other faithfully. A few things were changed out of practicality. Nothing drastic. Of course the book offers a deeper look into the lives of the Lisbon girls while the movie is just deadly gorgeous. Once again, if you care to get the low down check out the wiki.
