DAVID BYRNE'S AMERICAN UTOPIA (2020)
David Byrne’s American Utopia Sat, Aug 19 | 7:30pm | DGT
Spike Lee, David Byrne, and cinematographer Ellen Kuras join forces for this boisterous document of Byrne’s acclaimed Broadway show. David Byrne’s American Utopia blends the songwriter’s solo music with classics by Talking Heads for a life-affirming set of music and thought.

A concert film innovator himself, Byrne uses the 22 songs on American Utopia to tell a universal, euphoric story of who we are and what we want. DIRECTED BY: Spike Lee. WITH: David Byrne, Jacquelene Acevedo, Gustavo Di Dalva, Daniel Freedman. 2020. 105 min. USA. Color. English. DCP.
