Greatness. The best concert/music film I've ever seen. Everything works. The slow build of the band, the unique arrangements of the songs throughout, and the attentiveness to the cinematic nature of this performance. Highlights are the entire performance of Burning Down the House (esp. the dancing) as well as Byrne and his lamp during This Must Be the Place.

"Stop Making Sense" is a fine minimalist performance. The only songs that could have improved the set are "Born Under Punches (The Heat Goes On)," "No Compassion," and their Dadaist opus "I Zimbra."

Holy shit! Vá em frente, não há nada errado com esse filme, seja cinematograficamente quanto musicalmente. Primeiro eu só estava ouvindo no youtube enquanto fazia algumas coisas, depois voltei tudo e revi porque recomendo qualquer pessoa de boa cabeça e coração assistir esse filme ao menos uma vez ao ano. Youtube.

I do like the Talking Heads a lot, but this movie honestly doesn't do much for me. I find the stagey theatricality of a lot of the performances pretty corny.
