David Byrne walks onto a stage and tells us he wants to play us a tape. Over the next tightly packed nintey minutes, this spare opening leads to a glorious and intense experience, as a constant layering of sound, people, and visual imagery builds to a thrilling, ever more intense film. The concert film all other concert films have wanted to be since, this is a near-perfect fusion of film and music.
