The virgin suicides
Sinopsis
Fiction. In the mid-1970s, the Lisbon family lived in perfect harmony in a residential neighborhood of an american city. All the boys yearned for the five beautiful Lisbon sisters. But this paradise collapsed when Cecilia, the youngest, committed suicide at age 12. How can the most pristine beauty live alongside a grisly teenager story? This is the question haunting one of those teenagers who, now a grown man, cannot forget the events that happened twenty years ago.
Sofia Carmina Coppola (born in New York, on May 14, 1971) is the first American woman ever nominated for a Best Director Oscar. She is the daughter of Director and Producer Francis Ford Coppola and of Eleanor Coppola.
Sofia Coppola’s cinematography career as an actress started at a very young age, although she is mainly known for her career behind the cameras.

Worldwide recognition arrived later on with the movies The virgin suicides (1999) and Lost in Translation (2003), winner of an Oscar. This movie won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay and also obtained three nominations, including Best Picture, in addition to three Golden Globe Awards, one of which was Best Motion Picture in the Comedy or Musical category. When nominated to the Oscar Awards in the category of Best Director, she became the third woman and the first American woman ever to be nominated for this category.
