Stop Making Sense (1984)

Why stop making sense? Why a movie? Why a big suit? Where do the odd movements come from? What will the band do next?

The greatest concert film of all time, STOP MAKING SENSE brings to the screen Talking Heads at Hollywood's Pantages Theater in December 1983: David Byrne, Tina Weymouth, Chris Frantz, and Jerry Harrison, alongside an ecstatic ensemble of supporting musicians.

Renowned filmmaker Jonathan Demme (Silence of the Lambs) captures the band at their exhilarating best, in this new and complete restoration for the film's 40th anniversary.
