David Byrne’s American Utopia — 4K 12/20/25
The Criterion Collection
4K Ultra-HD + Blu-ray
“Maybe we can make some sense.” David Byrne & Spike Lee’s joyous concert film is just as energizing as Stop Making Sense; it offers a theme of peace, inclusivity and social justice, and ponders the personal challenge of finding one’s way in the chaos of modern living. The songs are a mix of new pieces, borrowed raps and vintage Talking Heads hits that will Burn Down the house; David Byrne’s speeches are soothing. Made just as the COVID crisis arrived, the show still carries a positive, hopeful message. The technical production behind the show is a marvel in itself — nothing gets between us and the performers. On 4K Ultra-HD + Blu-ray from The Criterion Collection.
