Widely hailed as the greatest concert movie ever made, director Jonathan Demme’s celebrated film captures Talking Heads live at Hollywood’s Pantages Theatre in December, 1983.
The film’s legendary opening sees David Byrne walk onto an empty stage and give a mesmerising, stripped-back rendition of Psycho Killer. From here the set and the band literally evolve song by song until both are complete and Byrne appears in his iconic ‘big suit’. Capturing the infectious energy of a unique Talking Heads performance, Stop Making Sense is an unforgettable musical and cinematic experience.
“A rock concert film that looks and sounds like no other” – Janet Maslin, New York Times
“A dose of happiness from beginning to end. Stop Making Sense is close to perfection.” – Pauline Kael, New Yorker Magazine
