Stop Making Sense (1984)

To coincide with its 40th anniversary, the fantastic concert film "Stop Making Sense" has been newly restored in 4K. The film features the revolutionary 1984 concert by US band Talking Heads, directed by Jonathan Demme (The Silence of the Lambs). In the legendary opening scene, frontman David Byrne walks onto an empty stage and starts "Psycho Killer" from a tape recorder. Stop Making Sense is highly innovative and is considered by critics as the greatest concert film of all time.

Melkweg often hosts different types of programmes at the same time, such as concerts, club nights and films. Please note that there may occasionally be some noise pollution from other programmes during the screening.
