‘Radiant City’ for lunch

Am now 33minutes into Radiant City, while munching on my McD’s-lunch.

Radiant City poster

Radiant City (2006) is a ‘fictional documentary’ on the suburban sprawl, revealing the close-up life of families living in the suburbia.

It is funny because it documents the lives of the Moss family (which are fictional), but tries to capture the essence of real suburban situations in a documentary format and the actors that play these characters do live in real suburban areas. They’ve also inserted short clips on statistical data and interviews with architects, planners, real estate agents, authors, etc etc… There’s also a cute little musical in the movie that kinda makes fun of the suburbia :)

Seems interesting so far.

Watch the trailer at the Radiant City movie website, here.

Okay, my urban design elective starts in 15 minutes. Ciao guys!
