kirstin dunst as lux, along with sistersfor months (maybe even years) now i've been wanting to read middlesex. don't ask why its taken so long, it just has. i finally got my hands on a copy last night and realized its by the author of the virgin suicides. this makes me even more excited to read the book.
virgin suicides is one of my favorite movies. directed by sofia coppala, it is the story of 5 sisters living an incredibly sheltered life because of their fundamentalist, ultra-conservative, christian parents. the story is told from the point of view of a group of boys who become obsessed with the sisters after one commits suicide. kirsten dunst as lux - the sister who dares to disobey - starts a chain reaction of events that ends in tragedy. if you haven't seen it and like to find movies off the beaten path, i suggest giving it a whirl. you won't be disappointed.
for now, i'm excited to dive into the mind of jeffrey eugenides again with middlesex. i'm sure you'll hear from me again about it . . .
