“Scenes From the Suburbs” is a 30-minute short film directed by Spike Jonze, a companion piece to Arcade Fire’s Grammy-winning third album, “The Suburbs.” The movie premiered this year at Germany’s Berlinale Festival and was screened the SXSW Film Festival in Austin.
The film is a meditation on life, a remembrance of things past by a group of friends who spent a languid summer together in an unnamed town that was taken over by the army. Back then, a summer, so long ago. They couldn’t leave town, because outside the country was at war, and the military controlled life and all the gateways. The teenagers wandered aimlessly about town. Winter was a long way off, and love and longing and friendship still meant everything.
This piece includes photographs, as well as the full version of the short film.
