About

A concert film documenting Talking Heads at the height of their popularity, on tour for their 1983 album "Speaking in Tongues." The band takes the stage one by one and is joined by a cadre of guest musicians for a career-spanning and cinematic performance that features creative choreography and visuals.

A minimalist stage transforms into a fever dream of rhythmic geometry and infectious, twitchy energy. This concert film captures a band shedding their inhibitions through artful movement and a relentless, driving beat.
