"It stays kind of relevant, even though it doesn't make literal sense, David Byrne, the band's leader and singer, said in a recent interview."
"The film, which was directed by Jonathan Demme, has been restored from its long-lost original negatives and this new version will premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on Monday, then play in regular and IMAX theaters later this month."
"Stop Making Sense is both a definitive 1980s period piece and a prophecy. Its staging helped reshape pop concerts in its wake. The music hot-wired rock, funk and African rhythms, while the fractured, non sequitur lyrics glanced at, among many other things, disinformation (Crosseyed and Painless), evangelicalism (Once in a Lifetime), authoritarianism (Making Flippy Floppy) and environmental disaster (Burning Down the House)."
