Stop Making Sense

Open Caption screening Tuesday, October 3 at 4:45pm. This screenings will be presented with on screen subtitling and sound descriptions.

The greatest concert film of all time, Stop Making Sense brings to the screen The 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. Oscar-winning filmmaker Jonathan Demme captures the band at their exhilarating best, performing many of their most memorable songs, including Psycho Killer, Once in a Lifetime and Burning Down the House, in this new and complete 4K restoration for the concert’s 40th anniversary.  A thrilling blast of pure pop bliss with style to spare (all hail the arrival of David Byrne’s iconic “Big Suit!”), Stop Making Sense is an experience not to be missed on the big screen. An A24 release.  (Dir. by Jonathan Demme, 1984, USA, 88 mins., Not Rated)
