That time when Arcade Fire and Spike Jonze made a movie
Remember Arcade Fire's brilliant video for "The Suburbs", directed by Spike Jonze? I'm sure I'm not the only one who found the cryptic storyline fascinating.
Well, it seems that the video was actually a bit of a preview for a short film that Jonze and the band worked on together. The film is set to premiere at SXSW this week, and a trailer has just been released.
It looks like all the same footage from the video, but with dialogue that will help make sense of the music video's vague storyline. I can't wait to see the whole thing.
