Jonathan Demme’s 1984 concert film masterpiece Stop Making Sense is coming back to The Frida in October to celebrate 3 years since we started throwing our dance parties! Doors open at 7:30PM and the party starts at 8:30PM! Stop Making Sense is an iconic concert film documenting Talking Heads at the height of their popularity, while 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, cinematic performance that features creative choreography and visuals. Featuring masterful performances by David Byrne and photography by Jordan Cronenweth (Blade Runner), Stop Making Sense is a concert experience at its most colorful and life-affirming. Stop Making Sense will continue with regularity at The Frida Cinema as long as we keep selling it out! Don’t miss this once in a lifetime cinematic experience!
