TALKING HEADS; STOP MAKING SENSE (1984)

Cast

Plot

A must for all Talking Heads fans. Heck, a must for everyone. This seminal music documentary perfectly encapsulates the spirit and style of the band. The film, like the concert, is a highly stylised, rhythmically rootsy piece of conceptual art. Building from a blank white stage, the concert moves from David Byrne singing Psycho Killer solo with acoustic guitar, introducing more 'Heads' and their instruments song by song. By the end of the gig the stage is fit to burst in an orgy of calypso-fused funkadelia! As an example of 80's post-structuralism it's delightful! For pure music and showmanship, it's sublime....
