The Virgin Suicides

I've been reading the Virgin Suicides by Jeffery Eugenides, and I'm really interested in basing a project off of the novel/film (which was directed by Sofia Coppola in 1999). I think it does a beautiful job of capturing this strange intersection of maturity and innocence, which is something I want to emulate. The mystery of the Lisbon sisters is what captivates the narrator throughout the novel, as they seem to simultaneously embody both the mundane and extraordinary. Though the girls are constantly cooped up in their house with their parents, they seem to know more and have experienced more than any other characters. Their own parents barely seem to understand them, which is a concept I also want to explore. The project I'm hoping to do would involve shooting portraits modeled after the style of the film (i.e. white dresses, soft colors and lighting, girls), then frame the photos in old-fashioned, home-y frames, accompanied by particularly powerful quotes from the book. Here are some stills from the movie that inspired me:
