About this movie

The greatest concert film of all time, Stop Making Sense brings to the screen Talking Heads at Hollywood's Pantages Theater in December 1983: David Byrne, Tina Weymouth, Chris Frantz, and Jerry Harrison, alongside an ecstatic ensemble of supporting musicians, capturing the iconic band at their exhilarating best. Directed by Academy Award Winner Jonathan Demme and newly restored to celebrate its 40th anniversary.

Ratings and reviews

Amazingly restored by A24. The fusion of two geniuses (Jonathan Demme and Talking Heads) takes you to a concert experience unlike any other. There is nothing like Stop Making Sense. Buy it, watch it, dance along with it....have as much fun as the performers in this film have.

Buy it. Put it on the largest screen possible. Turn up the volume.

That was the greatest concert (PARTY) I ever attended at the time.
