– 28 min. | Short, Drama, Music | May 2011 (USA)
Storyline:
Directed by Spike Jonze, Scenes from the Suburbs is a half-hour short film inspired by Arcade Fire’s Grammy(r) award-winning album The Suburbs. Hailed as “absolutely f–king gorgeous” by INDIEWIRE at its U.S. premiere at 2011’s SXSW festival, this collaborative effort between Spike and the band is a part of Arcade Fire’s The Suburbs Deluxe release.
User review:
This film reminds me of my childhood growing up in the suburbs, and the music is from one of my favorite albums. I think both of these qualities are required to get anything out of this picture.
The images of the houses rolling by, airplanes overhead, and neighborhood kids playing made-up games under an overpass evoke memories of simpler times. This is the theme of both the album and the film: the loss of purity. It’s a nostalgia film.
It is a genuinely different movie. For those of us somewhat jaded by the Hollywood-franchising-machine, this may be the refreshing respite you were looking for.
