LIFF - Leeds International Film Festival

Stop Making Sense in its full digital restoration is still the best concert film experience of all time, unmissable on the big screen in Millennium Square. Director Jonathan Demme and iconic band Talking Heads designed an unforgettable stage show, building famously from the opening Psycho Killer with David Byrne and ghetto blaster to the rapturous version of Al Green’s Take Me to the River with full band and backing choir. On the way, they take in classics like Once in a Lifetime and Girlfriend is Better, complete with gigantic business suit.

“A textbook example of how to put on a great gig on celluloid.” Ian Freer, Empire
