THE EXPERIENCE

Welcome to Movie Book Club—for anyone who loves movies, books, or simply having opinions about both. Hosted by author Margaret Malone, each session invites you to watch a literary adaptation and then stick around for a warm, lively, and lightly irreverent post-screening conversation. Bring your thoughts, your questions, your favorite passages, and your spiciest hot takes.

Read the book if you want, or just show up for the movie! Either way, you’ll leave with new ideas, new questions, and maybe a new favorite character to lovingly overanalyze.

This edition of Movie Book Club features The Virgin Suicides, the movie that inspired this series! The film is based on the book of the same name by Jeffrey Eugenides.

ON SCREEN: The Virgin Suicides

1999. Directed by Sofia Coppola. Runtime: 1hr 37min. Rated R.

In an ordinary suburban house, on a lovely tree-lined street, in the middle of 1970s America, lived the five beautiful, dreamy Lisbon sisters, whose doomed fates indelibly marked the neighborhood boys who to this day continue to obsess over them. A story of love and repression, fantasy and terror, sex and death, memory and longing. It is at its core a mystery story: a heart-rending investigation into the impenetrable, life-altering secrets of American adolescence.
