Gorgeous, warm, and cheerfully strange, this is a movie that could only have come from the mind of David Byrne. Unfortunately, this transfer doesn't really do it justice; the print shows a significant amount of dirt, the ratio is too narrow, and the edges of the frame suffer from frequent bleeding and fading.

I have loved this weird movie since high school. This turned me on to David Byrne forever.

Very quirky, like only David Byrne could do. Love the music, too bad the sound track didn't use the original singers.
