Stop Making Sense
We were delighted to previously screen this film but we have no current plans to screen it again. If you'd like to watch it in the cinema, consider a private hire to watch it with friends. That does rely on the film being available for private purchase.

A concert film documenting Talking Heads at the height of their popularity, on tour for their 1983 album “Speaking in Tongues.” The band takes the stage one by one and is joined by a cadre of guest musicians for a career-spanning and cinematic performance that features creative choreography and visuals.
Stop Making Sense is a concert film with a narrative, bursting at the seams with bits of invention and passion.

Mr. Demme has captured both the look and the spirit of this live performance with a daring and precision that match the group’s own.
