| Abstract | "Combining nostalgia, dazzling architecture, pop culture, economics and politics, 'Malls r us' examines North America's most popular and profitable suburban destination-- the enclosed shopping center-- and how for consumers they function as a communal, even ceremonial experience and, for retailers, sites where their idealism, passion, and greed merge. The film blends archival footage tracing the history of the shopping mall in America, visits to some of the world's largest and most spectacular malls--in Canada, the U.S., the U.K., Japan, Poland, France, and Dubai-- and interviews with architects, mall developers, sales managers, environmentalists, labor activists and social critics, as well as commentary from mall shoppers themselves."--Container. |
