Forty years after the release of Talking Heads’ concert film STOP MAKING SENSE by Oscar-winning director Jonathan Demme, the Teatro Grande will host an exclusive screening of the film in the Sala Grande on Tuesday, October 29, at 8 p.m. as part of the Stop Making Sense Tour Party in Italian clubs and theaters.
STOP MAKING SENSE recounts the band’s performance at the Pantages Theater in Hollywood in December 1983, when David Byrne, Tina Weymouth, Chris Frantz and Jerry Harrison, along with an ensemble of exceptional backing musicians, performed at the height of their success. The new edition of the film – fully restored in 4K, supervised by James Mockoski of American Zoetrope and distributed in Italy thanks to a collaboration between Nexo Studios and A24 – includes a totally remastered soundtrack, curated by Talking Heads guitarist and keyboardist Jerry Harrison himself, and was presented last year at the Toronto International Film Festival.
STOP MAKING SENSE. 40 ANNIVERSARY EXPERIENCE is the special project celebrating 40 years since the release of the greatest concert film of all time, a milestone in rock documentaries. It is a way to revive and delve into the band that most revolutionized the creative apparatus in the music world, blending disparate musical influences, creating unconventional compositional structures and amplifying the creativity of visuals and performances.
