series Jonathan Demme: Heart of Gold
Directed by Jonathan Demme | 1984
David Byrne dons the big suit for this rapturous concert film masterpiece, which features the Talking Heads at their peak, performing classics like “Psycho Killer,” "Burning Down the House," and “This Must Be the Place.” Directed with elegant restraint by Demme, it’s above all a showcase for the live-wire energy and compelling strangeness of Byrne, who has the magnetic presence of a bona fide movie star.
