Stop Making Sense is a concert film directed by Jonathan Demme, the man who would later deliver one of the strongest films of the 1990s in Silence of the Lambs. It features new-wave band Talking Heads at the height of their powers during a four-night residency in Los Angeles in 1983.

Bandleader David Byrne, equal parts Bill Nye, Pentecostal firebrand, and George Clinton, is the star of the show...both as lead vocalist and primary creative vision behind the stage production...indeed Byrne infects a rock show with performance art, iconic choreography, and visual flair Ala Andy Warhol and the Velvet Underground.

What starts as a one-man show starring Byrne, quickly grows to envelope all of the core members of Talking Heads --and within a few more numbers the group has expanded to an all-star cast of multiethnic, jet-fuel driven musicians. The film has received a recent 4K release from acclaimed production company A24.
