David Byrne’s American Utopia (dir. Spike Lee) x TIFF 2020.
Lee’s mastery of the screen makes this version of American Utopia feel both cinematic with dynamic shots choices and framing while also intimate in keeping with the open atmosphere of a big Broadway show. Mixed with standard elements from concert films like Jonathan Demme’s Talking Heads masterpiece Stop Making Sense, its joyful construction feels just as theatrical as it is performative and musical.
