Stop Making Sense
This classic rock doco from Talking Heads is guaranteed to burn down the house at ACMI.
Overview
More than three decades after its initial release, Talking Heads' concert film Stop Making Sense will burn down the house at ACMI in Federation Square. Shot by future Silence of the Lambs director Jonathan Demme, the stripped-down, left-of-centre rock doco is widely accepted as being one of the all-time quintessential live performance films, and should stack up quite nicely alongside all the Melbourne Music Week events shaking things up around the city.
The concert begins with lanky lead singer David Byrne performing a solo rendition of 'Psycho Killer' while bopping wildly around the otherwise empty stage. Slowly but surely he's joined by the rest of the band, as they run through many of their most famous tracks including 'Girlfriend Is Better', 'Once in a Lifetime' and 'Burning Down The House'. Basically, if you're even a casual Talking Heads fan, catching this in a theatre is a must.
