Filmmaker Jonathan Demme captures Talking Heads and an ecstatic ensemble of musicians at their exhilarating best in this iconic live performance.

The overwelming impression throughout “Stop Making Sense” is of enormous energy, of life being lived at a joyous high. And it’s not the frenetic, jangled-nerves energy of a rock band that’s wired; it’s the high spirits and good health we associate with artists like Bruce Springsteen. There are a lot of reasons to see concert films, but the only ones that usually get mentioned are the music and the cinematography. This time the actual physical impact of the film is just as exhilarating: Watching the Talking Heads in concert is a little like rock ‘n’ roll crossed with “Jane Fonda’s Workout.” The movie was shot during two live performances of the Talking Heads, a New York rock band that centers on the remarkable talent of its lead singer, David Byrne. Like David Bowie, his stage presence shows the influence of mime, and some of his best effects in “Stop Making Sense” are achieved with outsize costumes and hand-held lights that create shadow plays on the screen behind him.
