  Stop Making Sense 1984

  ★★★★½ Watched 09 Mar 2020

  Wow. Still one of the greatest concert films ever (if not the best). 

  Captures not only the purity of the music, but also tips that hat at the separateness that was Byrne and the rest of the Heads.

  Certainly groundbreaking, jubilant and sad.

  Phantom Thread 2017
