Synopsis

Director Spike Jonze teams up with Arcade Fire to create a thirty-minute short film inspired by their critically acclaimed album, The Suburbs, and its themes of war and coming of age in suburbia. Co-written by Jonze & Arcade Fire’s Win Butler & Will Butler, this companion piece to the album follows the narrator, living in a suburban dystopia, trying to piece together fragmented memories from when he was a teenager, and his experiences with his friends as they grow apart.

Loved the film, the characters were spot on and believable, you just felt like you knew them you whole life. Filming was superb, acting was really good and the script was well written. Of course, the music itself was great and combined with the film made you love the music and film even more.

None of the kids in this film had any acting experience before this short was made. It is really rare that a band, Arcade Fire, wanted to collaborate as much as they did with the actors and Spike Jonze in this short. Its not for everyone, but for anyone who can relate to growing up in the suburbs, this film and album are pretty special.

Great film with a great soundtrack. Feels like you are getting a full length film in a 30 minute package.
