This iconic music film bursts with raw emotion and electrifying passion, capturing the soul of Talking Heads like never before. Jonathan Demme revolutionized the way we experience live music, pouring his heart into this groundbreaking and vibrant record of one of the most daring and innovative bands of all time.

Filmed at the legendary Pantages Theater in Los Angeles, California, this masterpiece solidifies Talking Heads’ place as true pioneers—artists unafraid to push boundaries and redefine what rock music can be. With 18 unforgettable songs, including the soulful "Take Me to the River," the transcendent "Once in a Lifetime," and the fiery "Burnin' Down the House," the film begins with David Byrne’s intimate solo, and then erupts into a torrent of energy as the band joins him in a soaring celebration of sound and passion. For those unfamiliar with the groundbreaking work of The Talking Heads, prepare to be moved—this concert film is an exhilarating journey that will ignite a newfound love for their revolutionary spirit. Jonathan Demme (the genius behind SILENCE OF THE LAMBS and PHILADELPHIA) masterfully captures not just the music, but the heartbeat of the performance, blending cinema and performance into an electrifying experience that resonates deep within your soul. This is more than a concert—it's a visceral, unforgettable explosion of creativity and emotion.
