Scenes from the Suburbs

I have to admit, I'm not really a movie fan.
There's plenty that I haven't seen even though I know I should.
But today I finally got myself to watch one thing-
and it was just as beautiful as I thought it would be-

Scenes from the Suburbs.

A short movie inspired by Arcade Fire's album The Suburbs.
Or rather, not even a movie. More like a composition of scenes that are virtually independent, but allow you, just like shattered pieces of glass, to make out the entire image, the entire story, if you try hard enough.

In fact, it provides what movies and video-games can only very infrequently provide: a space for your own imagination. A space for emotions that are not thrown at you, but only for those that you can make yourself feel.
