Velvet Goldmine

(Todd Haynes, 1998)

The Virgin Suicides

(Sofia Coppola, 1999)

// Double Feature

Thu, July 16, 2009  |  7:00PM
Film/Video Theater

Check out two very different versions of life in the 1970s, each underscored by the films' evocative uses of music.

Based largely on David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust persona (but without Bowie's participation), Velvet Goldmine perfectly captures the spirit of the British glam rock scene in the early 1970s. Songs include Brian Eno's "Needle in the Camel's Eye" and Lou Reed's "Satellite of Love." (123 mins., 35mm)

Sofia Coppola's first feature, The Virgin Suicides tells the story of five suburban sisters who all inexplicably commit suicide. Air provided two tracks on the film's score, and additional songs include 1970s' hits such as Heart's "Magic Man" and ELO's "Strange Magic." (97 mins., 35mm)

The Virgin Suicides will begin at 9:10 PM.
