If there ever was a year for the Toronto Film Festival to open with a musical pep talk for Americans, surely 2020 is it. American Utopia, the concert film of David Byrne’s 2019 Broadway show, directed by Spike Lee, provides a spark of optimism in the era of COVID-19 and civil unrest.

Comprising songs from Byrne’s catalog, including some from his Talking Heads years, and performed by a diverse troupe of musicians wearing the veteran artist’s signature nattysuit, American Utopia is "about immigration, civic engagement, voting — a celebration of what’s wonderful about this country," says Participant Media CEO David Linde, whose company backed the film.

David Byrne's 'American Utopia': Film Review | TIFF 2020
Despite the countless technological innovations in the 36 years since the release of Jonathan Demme's Stop Making Sense, that iconoclastic time capsule of a 1983 Talking Heads show is still considered by many to be the greatest rock concert film ever made.
