Stop Making Sense

Showtimes September 29 - October 5:

Heralded by Leonard Maltin as one of the greatest rock movies ever made, and by Pauline Kael as close to perfection, Stop Making Sense was Demme’s documentary debut.

Shot over the course of three nights at Hollywood’s Pantages Theater, the film showcases the Talking Heads in 1983, just after they achieved mainstream success with the album “Speaking in Tongues” and the single “Burning Down the House.”

Newly restored in 4k to coincide with its 40th anniversary, 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.

(US / 1984 / Directed by Jonathan Demme)
