Spike Jonze and Arcade Fire are a match made in heaven; their collaboration on the trailer campaign for Jones’ superb Where The Wild Things Are resulted in nothing short of a work of art.
It comes as no surprise then that their latest collusion is equally compelling, as Jonze’s short film, Scenes from the Suburbs, is now available to watch online.

The film itself, an accomplished and naturalistic 28 minute short featuring regional non-actor teenagers, charts the dissolution of friendship between the contemplative Kyle (Sam Dillon) and the rather less emotional Winter (Paul Pluymen), who is being forced to move away by his intimidating older brother. The friends’ interactions taking place against a military backdrop, the film taking place in a dystopian universe.

Spike Jonze has finally released his 28-minute short film Scenes From the Suburbs which is available for free viewing on Mubi right now, and should also be available online via Playstation. The short is a collaboration with members of the recent Grammy winners Arcade Fire and will be featured in a deluxe edition of Arcade Fire’s album The Suburbs that includes a behind the scenes doc, some extra tracks and more.
The bad news is the short seems to only be available in the U.S. which is a shame considering the band emerged mostly from Montreal. Considering we reside in Montreal, we aren’t very happy about it.
Scenes From the Suburbs stars unknowns (Sienna Blau, Sam Dillon, Zoe Graham, Zeke Jarmon, Paul Pluymen and Ashlin Williams) and was described as follows in the Berlin festival program:
“I wish I could remember every little moment. But I can’t.

Spike Jonze has finally released his 28-minute short film 'Scenes From the Suburbs' online on Mubu. The film stars Sienna Blau, Sam Dillon, Zoe Graham, Zeke Jarmon, Paul Pluymen and Ashlin Williams and is collaboration with Arcade Fire with Win Butler and William Butler writing the film.
I wish I could remember every little moment. But I can’t. Why do I only remember the moments that I do. I wonder what happens to the others.” A group of suburban youths. Back then, in the summer, so long ago. They couldn’t leave town because outside the country was at war and the military controlled life and all gateways. The teenagers wander aimlessly about town. Winter is a long way off. And love and longing and friendship still mean – everything.
The short film will also be bundled in the 'Scenes From the Suburbs' album re-release.
Update:...

Is it possible for a film to arrive at a time that’s emotionally inconvenient?
That’s the question I’m pondering as I sit here, having just watched Spike Jonze‘s collaboration with Arcade Fire, the short film Scenes from the Suburbs. This needs to be established upfront: I’m what you would call a younger fellow. As of this writing, in fact, I graduated from high school two days ago, and got back from two graduation parties right before I sat down and watched this. At said parties were a few of my best friends, some of whom I’ve known since I was five or six. In about two months, I’ll be going off to college, living somewhere different, and meeting new people.
I’ve recently been asking myself a question I don’t want to face: Am I going to see these people after I go away?...

Last month it seemed Arcade Fire had bum-rushed the mainstream when its “The Suburbs” album won the top Grammy award, setting off some confusion about how an arty indie rock band from Montreal could triumph over commercially dominant acts such as Eminem. Now, apparently, the industry’s natural order is being restored: Next month Arcade Fire will play the arty music festival Coachella and, this past week, the band was represented at the indie rock mecca South...
