Radiant City
Canada 2006;
Director: Gary Burns and Jim Brown; 86 minutes
Whether you call it sprawl or growth, the suburbs have been the dominant form of community planning in North America for fifty years. Radiant City peers into the windows and lives of those who call suburbia home.
The Moss family is one such household. The parents commute to the city for work, mapping their micromanaged lives on the kitchen whiteboard. More than just a critical dissertation on suburbia, Burns and Brown lend it a witty, satirical edge, crafting a documentary that’s informative, insightful, and hilarious.
Like the identical streetscapes of a housing division, Radiant City hides secrets behind its glossy exterior that, once revealed, change not only how we view the ’burbs, but also the movie we’ve just seen.
