Thanks for this, I will look both films up, and the Jonathan Meades sounds intriguing. For a great fictional picture of the lure of the suburbs, try RC Sherriff's Greengates! https://harkness.substack.com/p/greengates
Brilliant! Thank you. I have to admit- I have yet to read it. Now on the list. Oh, I so LOVE those Jonathan Meades documentaries... his take on Belgium especially.
What a jewel! I'd never heard of this film. Thanks a lot.
I’m sure you will enjoy it…
By the way, while checking out Metro-Land, I also found a 1997 British film called Metroland https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metroland_(film)
I haven't seen it yet, but it sounds good.
