Spoiler-Free Synopsis
Read MoreCollapse
This electrifying Talking Heads concert film directed by Oscar-winner Jonathan Demme ("The Silence of the Lambs") features David Byrne and his New Wave band performing hits such as "Psycho Killer," "Take Me to the River" and "Burning Down the House.", The energetic, experimental, and highly theatrical stage show of the rock band Talking Heads is captured in this visually exciting concert film, shot during several performances in Hollywood, California. The spastic, oddball manner of Talking Heads leader David Byrne is perfectly matched by director Jonathan Demme's off-kilter visuals.
