Supurbia
While his neighbours, friends and family all prepare for an emission-free Constitution Day celebration, Gunnar struggles to cope with life in the materialistic suburbs of Norway.
Supurbia is an award winning satirical slice of Norway’s new-wealth, aspiring middle class that religiously follows their materialism’s unspoken rules for achieving the “perfect life”.
Raised in the burbs oil city of Stavanger, director Alexander Gudmestad presents a sympathetic protagonist’s tragi-comic struggle to burst the “Supurbian bubble”; a sharp study of petty-bourgeois consumerism and complacency.
