Synopsis

Stop Making Sense is a 1984 American concert film featuring a live performance by the American rock band Talking Heads. The film was directed by Jonathan Demme and executive produced by Gary Kurfirst, the band’s longtime manager. The film was shot over four nights in December 1983 at Hollywood's Pantages Theatre while Talking Heads were on tour promoting their fifth studio album, Speaking in Tongues (1983). Stop Making Sense includes performances of the early Talking Heads single "Psycho Killer" (1977), through to their most recent hit at the time, "Burning Down the House" (1983). It also includes songs from the solo career of frontman David Byrne and by Tom Tom Club, the side project of drummer Chris Frantz and bassist Tina Weymouth.
