    Editorial Reviews

    Stop Making Sense was the first feature-length documentary effort of filmmaker Jonathan Demme. The director's subject is The Talking Heads, a new-wave/pop-rock group comprised of David Byrne, Chris Franz, Tina Weymouth and Jerry Harrison. The film was made during a three-day concert gig at the Pantages Theater in Hollywood. What emerges on screen says as much about director Demme's taste and sensitivity as it does about the group and its visionary leader Byrne. Though some of the material in Stop Making Sense overlaps with the Talking Heads' earlier concert film The Name of This Band is Talking Heads, one never gets the feeling of by-the-numbers repetition; the group's energy is such that it virtually explodes from the screen.

    July 31, 2009: This is a Great concert film, created expressly for film, and is a joyous experience throughout. If you need a movie to help you do your daily workouts, this is the one to get. You can get exhausted just watching these guys running around the stage, and they all seem to be having a terrific time doing it as well. Highly recommended. This film does such a good job of presenting the Talking Heads best songs that the only CD I have from them is the post-movie "Little Creatures" CD.

    I Also Recommend: Little Creatures.

    More than a concert, a lesson in how to make the perfect concert film!by Anonymous

    March 11, 2004: If you loved it in the theater then this DVD will blow you away!! The 5.1 surround sound, the clairity of the picture, AND all the extras. I watched it in the original form, then started it over with the 'commentery' audio turned on, and it's a whole new movie. Just think... you get to listen while the band talks through all the deatils and stories about the making of (not only) the movie, but the songs, the ideas that made the band and the way the whole show and tour looked. WOW!!
