Review by Peter BelsitoFor the past 25 years acclaimed photographer and filmmaker Lauren Greenfield has travelled the world, documenting with ethnographic precision and an artist’s sensitivity a vast range of cultural movements and moments.
Yet, after so much seeking and searching, she realized that much of her work pointed at one uniting phenomenon: wealth culture. With her new film, Generation Wealth, she puts the pieces of her life’s work together for in an incendiary investigation into the pathologies that have created the richest society the world has ever seen.
Spanning consumerism, beauty, gender, body commodification, aging and more, Greenfield has created a comprehensive cautionary tale about a culture heading straight for the cliff’s edge. Generation Wealth, simultaneously a deeply personal journey, rigorous historical essay, and raucously entertaining expose, bears witness to the global boom-bust economy, the corrupted American Dream and the human costs of capitalism, narcissism and greed.

In her new documentary feature Generation Wealth, acclaimed photographer and filmmaker Lauren Greenfield investigates the recent pathologies that have created a society obsessed with wealth and popularity in one of the richest civilisations the world has ever seen. Using her own experiences of growing up as a shy middle class Jewish kid born to academic parents, Greenfield tackles the idea of excessive wealth and its effects on society by taking on ideas relating to consumerism, beauty and body commodification in a world where popularity and money have come to symbolise absolute power and success.
Approaching the subject matter from a very personal standpoint, Greenfield takes us back right to the beginning of her own existence, with her birth, childhood and the divorce of her parents. Later on we are invited to revisit some of her earlier work, namely a series of photographs taken in the 90s which featured a group...

“What is happiness?” Don Draper once asked in bitterly rhetorical fashion. “It’s a moment before you need more happiness.” Of course, that wasn’t the end of it. That memorable line came in the middle of a drama that spent more than 70 hours of television unpacking a question to which its protagonist only pretended to know the answer, as “Mad Men” exhaustively pressed through the latter half of the 20th century and peered behind the curtains of capitalism in search of a less elusive solution.
Who are we, and how do we measure our worth? Is enough ever enough, or is it fundamentally unAmerican to believe that someone can have too much money? If the show ever came to a simple conclusion, it was only that there are no simple conclusions — happiness is ultimately just an advertisement for itself, a catchy jingle for a product that isn’t for sale.
