A few weeks ago Adam Taylor shot a series called Lux Lisbon for the site. Being a huge fan of the Virgin Suicides film I had to see if there was a reason for choosing Lux. Turns out he’s completing a series of all five of the sisters.
Here’s Cecilia Lisbon…

“I was eighteen years old when Sophia Coppola’s The Virgin Suicides was released. The film was beautiful, tragic and impactful all at the same time. Fifteen years later it still remains high up on my list of favorite films and will most likely stay that way. After my Lux Lisbon photo set and short film, which premiered on Fashion Grunge, I decided it would be fun for me to complete some more shorts and follow the same theme. Paying homage to The Virgin Suicides, I’ll be doing a total of five short films titled after each of the five Lisbon daughters from the film. Each female in the short will represent, not perfectly or identically, one of the sisters with a different mood and style. The second film, titled Cecilia Lisbon, is debuting now on Fashion Grunge and the remaining three will debut here as well to complete the series before Summer’s end. This has been a fun and fulfilling project for me and I truly hope the viewer enjoys each short film and can see through my eyes my love for The Virgin Suicides.”
