Big Screen in the Garden: Stop Making Sense (PG)
Dir. Jonathan Demme
2017 | 88 mins | US | English
Ben Whishaw, Sally Hawkins, Hugh Grant, Hugh Bonneville
“Watch out, you might get what you’re after”
Join David Byrne ‘live’ on stage as he thrusts 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.
Widely acclaimed as one of the greatest and most innovative concert films ever made, documenting Talking Heads at their peak. Expect an immersive musical experience that builds from a solo acoustic performance into a full ensemble art-rock spectacle, and “big suits”!
This film will play with Descriptive Subtitles, a service for our Deaf/deaf and hard of hearing customers that displays additional auditory information on the screen. Find out more here >

Exeter Phoenix moves outdoors for four nights of cinema under the stars. This year we will sing, and we will dance. We will make new friends and challenge old ones. And along the way, we might just discover that the best stories happen when the sun goes down.
