  • Is this the best concert film ever released? It's certainly on the short list of every ranking, and with good reason. Director Jonathan Demme captured the energy of The Talking Heads perfectly with Stop Making Sense, bringing their electric stage performance to a cinematic level. Psycho Killer, Burning Down the House, Genius of Love, and many more favorites come to life in this celebration of music.

    When A24 acquired the rights to Stop Making Sense, they put the work in to produce a 4K restoration worthy of the big screen. The producers hunted down a negative they were told did not exist, as well as audio tracks from the original filmed performances that had been hidden away in a warehouse in Kansas. It was an ordeal.

    All the hard work and treasure hunting paid off, and the film has never looked or sounded better.

    Part of A24 in April'25 at Central Cinema.
