Directed by Jonathan Demme

Filmmaker Jonathan Demme captures the frantic energy and artsy groove of Talking Heads as they perform hits such as 'Psycho Killer' and 'Take Me to the River' at the Hollywood Pantages Theatre in 1983, giving rise, 40 years later, to a fashion trend of oddly-oversized suits.

Join us before the movie for a BIG SUIT CONTEST, hosted by Ryan Nelson!
