You’ve been asking to dance again, so let’s do it! The party is back! Stop Making Sense, Jonathan Demme’s 1984 masterpiece of sight and sound, is back as part of our all-month February birthday celebration!
Stop Making Sense is an iconic concert film documenting Talking Heads at the height of their popularity, while on tour for their 1983 album “Speaking in Tongues.” The band takes the stage one by one and is joined by a cadre of guest musicians for a career-spanning, cinematic performance that features creative choreography and visuals. Featuring masterful performances by David Byrne and photography by Jordan Cronenweth (Blade Runner), Stop Making Sense is a concert experience at its most colorful and life-affirming.
