Screening as part of a/perture’s Summer Music Festival, sponsored by Blanco Tackabery. 

Directed by Jonathan Demme (The Silence of the Lambs, Something Wild), and often regarded as the greatest concert film of all time, documenting Talking Heads at the height of their popularity while 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.

“I’ve been singing along to it with glassy-eyed fanaticism these 40 years, while still having zero idea as to what most of it means. It never even started making sense in those ordinary terms, but its poetic power is as potent as ever.” ~ Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
