And like Lester Burnham s opening monologue in American Beauty , that line gives you an idea of what to expect from the rest of the film. Together, the Lisbon daughters form their own little clique of well-developed, blonde girls, which, as you might expect, attracts the attention of every teenaged boy within pheromone range. But the Lisbon parents are maniacally strict, barely allowing their voluptuous flock to leave the house, let alone date boys, which only makes the forbidden girls more tantalizing. Like other similarly aged young men that lived near the Lisbons, the narrator explains their infatuation with the girls led them to find and collect Lisbon memorabilia. They still talk about them, even though the events that play out in the film transpired twenty-five years ago.
Suicides is full of amazing performances from everyone, including the interchangeable Lisbon girls.
Woods character gets nuttier and nuttier as the film progresses and things in his house begin to spin out of control. But the surprising standout acting-wise is Hartnett, who gets so far into his role that you ll likely forget that it s him. The standout score was provided by the French band Air. All Rights Reserved.
