Jonathan Demme

Considered by many to be the greatest concert movie ever made, Jonathan Demme’s groundbreaking Talking Heads film, filmed across three live shows at Los Angeles’s Pantages Theater, is aurally exuberant and visually stunning.

Considered by many to be the greatest concert movie ever made, Jonathan Demme’s groundbreaking Talking Heads film, filmed across three live shows at Los Angeles’s Pantages Theater, is aurally exuberant and visually stunning: Who can forget David Byrne’s big suit, or his dance with a floor lamp? The black stage, simple white lighting, and long takes allow viewers to immerse themselves in the music without distraction, giving a sense of being at the performance itself. Featuring “Psycho Killer,” “Burning Down the House,” “Slippery People,” “Take Me to the River,” and much more.
