From the Director of "Somewhere"
In sharp response to the lax moral milieu of the mid-1970s, Ronald and Sara Lisbon (James Woods and Kathleen Turner) keep their five alluring, adolescent daughters on a short leash by embracing religion and pushing away the opposite sex. But when the youngest (Hanna Hall) unaccountably commits hara-kiri and a wayward elder sister (Kirsten Dunst) violates curfew, Sara puts all the girls under a virtual house arrest.
I don't know that the movie was of any attaching element. I didn't get attached to any character, I felt cold the whole time. But it was a more like a tragic succession of event that made complete sense overall. A sociologically disturbing truth that was made with an aesthetic look of the 70's, and it worked. And even reflected the truth of later generations...
