In 1983, Jonathon Demme filmed talking Heads in concert for Stop making Sense, presenting the performance seen from the outside: a stage show, nothing more. Now, with the Heads dissolved, the band’s songwriter and leader, David Byrne, has created what might be its sequel. Its title is Between the Teeth, but it could be called ‘Start making Syncopation’…

The concert includes material from the 1980s Talking Heads and from Mr Byrne’s solo albums. Mr Byrne, who says barely a word between songs, is an impassioned enigma on stage. He begins the show alone with an acoustic guitar and drum machine; then the full band appears and the music takes off, groove after groove…

At first the camerawork is unobtrusive, avoiding the acute angles and jumpy editing of typical MTV fare. Gradually, it emerges that Mr Byrne and the co-director, David Wild, have a strategy for each song. One is all mouth-level close-ups; another shows musicians from head to toe, moving to the rhythm; a third is one unswerving shot for the length of the song. “Life During Wartime’, the oldest tune in the film, is all hand-held swoops, blurs of faces and flashing lights. Arty and schematic as they might seem, the choices bring added variety to the music. - Jon Pareles, New York Times, 2/2/94
