Stop Making Sense

 

Palm Pictures have announced a Blu-Ray release of the classic Talking Heads concert film ‘Stop Making Sense’. Jonathan Demme (Silence of The Lambs) directed this 25 years ago and it still retains all its fervour in 2009. Talking Heads are one of the best bands of the last 30 years and if you have not seen this before, we cannot stress enough that you pick this up.

Not only is this a film of a great band but a great film in it’s own right. The band members raised the money to make the film themselves which gave them greater production control. From this came a film that has a markedly different approach from other films in the same genre. Innovations in lighting, camera work and stage presentation amongst other things combine to create something unique, appealing, undeniably stylish and essentially Talking Heads. The result is a film that is still regularly lauded as the greatest Rock and Roll movie ever. It is available directly from Palm Pictures and many other outlets.
