The Virgin Suicides (with Mack Calistan)

Have you photosynthesized your breakfast today? Either way, join us for a dreamy discussion with cinematographer Mack Calliston to discuss Sofia Coppola's debut feature, The Virgin Suicides (1999).

Mack tells us how the film has influenced his work, we commiserate over the horrors of being 13, and we try to guess Sofia Coppola's astrological sign.  We also chat extensively about whether or not the film is a subversive commentary on the male gaze - what do you think?

Please note that the film discussed contains depictions and discourse of/surrounding suicide. Please take care of yourself & do not listen if this is a sensitive subject for you.
