STOP MAKING SENSE
Concert movie about the band Talking Heads
The film is created by Jonathan Demme, who is known for movies like The Silence Of The Lambs and Philadelphia. Because of the structure and technical aspects of this film, Stop Making Sense often appears more like a regular movie as opposed to a concert movie. To name an example, during the song “Psycho Killer”, front man David Byrne comes up with a nice Fred Astaire impression. But the main aspect of this film remains music. Standing up, dancing or clapping like you were at a real life Talking Heads concert is a common side effect of watching this movie.
