This May, Bad Gal Film Clu b is proud to present a month dedicated to one of favourite women directors, Sofia Coppola. We’re screening four of our favourite films by Sofia, kicking things off with a classic - The Virgin Suicides . About the film 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. Notes about this event Open to everyone over 15. No adverts. About Bad Gal Film Club Bad Gal Film Club is a community dedicated to championing women in cinema, both on and off-screen. We’re passionate about amplifying women’s voices, and screen films that are created by women filmmakers or have a focus on women's stories. Information Source: Bad Gal Film Club | eventbrite
