40 years ago, David Byrne, the leader of the legendary band Talking Heads, joined forces with Jonathan Demme, known primarily for 'The Silence of the Lambs' and 'Philadelphia,' but also as the creator of music videos for New Order and Bruce Springsteen. Thanks to this collaboration, a timeless work was created that still captivates audiences today, regardless of their musical tastes. The film was made in December 1983, at the peak of the band's career, during the tour promoting their album 'Speaking in Tongues.' The entire film was shot at the Hollywood Pantages Theatre during three concert nights.
The film features all the greatest hits of Talking Heads – from 'Burning Down the House,' through 'Psycho Killer' and 'Once in a Lifetime,' to 'This Must Be the Place' (in the Polish version, the lyrics are translated by Gaba Kulka). Demme is close to perfection in translating the emotions accompanying the musicians' on-stage ecstasy to the screen, and the camera seems to instinctively adjust to the extraordinary energy of David Byrne, who moves like a seasoned dancer. It was for these recorded concerts that the band leader donned the famous huge gray suit, and his stage partner became a glowing lamp.
On the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the film's premiere, it has been meticulously restored in 4K, and the sound has been remixed for modern cinema halls. As a result, despite the passage of time, 'Stop Making Sense' seems more contemporary than ever, and its screening is an unforgettable experience in which the audience becomes part of the spectacle. It also proves that cinema can be the most wonderful concert hall. It doesn't matter if you know the Talking Heads' discography by heart or are just discovering their music, 'Stop Making Sense' will captivate you too.
