Stop Making Sense (40th Anniversary Restoration)
Why stop making sense? Why a movie? Why a big suit? Where do the odd movements come from? What will the band do next?
1984 | United States of America | Jonathan Demme | English | 88 minutes
Same as it ever was…
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.
Newly restored in 4K, Demme’s 1984 film is considered by critics as the greatest concert film of all time. In addition to the core band members, the ensemble includes Bernie Worrell, Alex Weir, Steve Scales, Lynn Mabry and Edna Holt.
Shot over the course of three nights at Hollywood’s Pantages Theater in December 1983, the movie is notable for being the first made entirely using digital audio techniques. STOP MAKING SENSE has been hailed by Leonard Maltin as “one of the greatest rock movies ever made,” and Pauline Kael of The New Yorker described it as “…close to perfection.”
One thing’s for sure, though… This ain’t no disco, but it is a party! (One that’s best enjoyed with us. On our big screen, and with our even bigger sound!)
