Maybe this could be considered as old news, but being a huge fan of Arcade Fire, and them being from Montreal, I had to make sure that anyone who missed this had a chance to watch it.

Director Spike Jonze teams up with Arcade Fire to create a 30 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.
