Radiant City - Suburban Documentary Life

Here is a must watch movie for all architecture students and working adults - Radiant City, it is a documentary about suburban sprawl and the meaning and impact of suburban life, a portrait of a newly suburbanized family.

Nor might one expect the balance, depth and refreshing lightness which Radiant City evinces in a left-leaning documentary culture, which has increasingly privileged the bite-sized, shallow and shrill qualities it purports to rail against. Co-existing with the audience-friendly flamboyance, which one can only expect from talented filmmakers, Burns and Brown present plainly and simply the realities of suburban monoculture without preaching either to the choir or the unconverted. -Andrew Tracy - September 3rd, 2006
