Talking Heads Vs. The Television


59m 1981

Brief Synopsis

Tel-evangelists, commercials from Japan, and cop shows intercut with a Talking Heads' performance to create a soulful melange of landscapes-spiritual and physical-and make "the boring things seem dramatic." With a rare glimpse of a 1975 performance of Psycho Killer.
