Pros Fine music/performances, a quirky stage concept and excellent cinematic execution.
Cons The picture quality feels like it could've been remastered a little better.
Bottom Line Jonathan Demme and the Talking Heads STOP MAKING SENSE and create a concert film which will have you dancing in front of your TV screen.
