A common complaint heard in
Lincoln during the summer,
uttered in a whiny voice, is “there’s
nothing to do in this town.”
And yet flipping through the
phone book one may be surprised
to find that out of nowhere, and
often tucked away in little build
ings no one notices, are galleries
that provide new exhibits every
month.
Some may be a short walk
down the block and into the
exposed brick atmosphere of the
Haymarket, while others may
require a short day trip to Omaha.
Either way, all provide an inexpen
sive opportunity to view local and
international art, as well as a
resolving response to the com
ment “there’s nothing to do.”

Code tops early summer movie list
MOVIES from page 9
with broad strokes intentionally.
As so many movies choose to root
into the cause of every tragedy,
debut director Sofia Coppola
treats the mass suicide of four sis
ters with the appropriate amount
of vagueness, telling the story
through of adolescent male
admirers from across the street.
They have no more answers
for the death of the Lisbon sisters
than we do. There are hints, of
course: strict parents, the sui
cide/ death of the youngest sister
Cecilia early in the film, the aban
donment of another Lux (Dunst)
on a football field after her first
sexual encounter. But Coppola
sneaks hints of character in for die
entire Lisbon family, as Woods
and Kathleen Turner stand out as
the rigid, nonplused parents.
“Virgin Suicides” exudes the
quiet madness of suburbia, and
when it finally takes form, a direct
answer isn’t needed. A haunting
satire.
