Review of Stop Making Sense (1984) by Chris H — 31 Jul 2010
Well, twenty-six years, after its initial release, finally caught this Talking Heads classic. Great film-making, Jonathan Demme. Also enjoyed the Tom Tom Club bit.
Very revolutionary. Each song was a masterpiece of story-telling, mood, emotion, and filled with the vibrancy of youth. Loved the way each band member was given time to shine, except maybe Jerry Harrison, who, not-so-much. Still, it was the David Byrne concept from start-to-finish, save for the Tom Tom Club interlude, with Byrne getting incredible support from the rest of the team.
Jonathan Demme took Byrne's creativity, and transformed it into a true collaborative classic.
