Arcade Fire’s songs have always had a cinematic quality to them, but now the Montreal indie rockers are actually venturing into film-making. Scenes From The Suburbs, their new short film, is now streaming for free. Watch it in its entirety here. (Update: Not available for the US, unfortunately.)
Scenes From The Sububs, which is also featured in the new deluxe version of the Arcade Fire’s Grammy-winning album The Suburbs, was directed by Spike Jonze, of Being John Malkovich and Where The Wild Things Are fame, according to NME.
Will Butler, multi-instrumentalist and brother of Arcade Fire frontman Win Butler, recently talked with NME about the short film. “Hopefully it doesn’t explain the album more,” he said. “We wanted it to be another slant, coming from the same place, so that the songs kind of illuminate the film and vice versa.”
The film expands on the themes of the album through a narrative about Kyle, a troubled youth living in the suburbs, who has to deal with his friend Winter changing into a different person over the course of a summer.
Arcade Fire will be headlining Hyde Park in London this coming Thursday with Beirut, Mumford & Sons, The Vaccines, and Owen Pallett.
