Stop Making Sense

Celebrate the 40th anniversary of what many critics consider to be the greatest concert film of all time: Stop Making Sense. Newly restored in 4K, the 1984 film features an iconic performance by the rock band Talking Heads, directed by renowned filmmaker Jonathan Demme. The film stars core band members David Byrne, Tina Weymouth, Chris Frantz, and Jerry Harrison along with Bernie Worrell, Alex Weir, Steve Scales, Lynn Mabry, and Edna Holt. The live performance was shot over the course of three nights at Hollywood’s Pantages Theater in December of 1983 and features Talking Heads’ most memorable songs.
