On Thursday 20 January, hmvcurzon WIMBLEDON is screening ‘Ride Rise Roar’, a documentary profiling the famous lead vocalist of ‘Talking Heads’, David Byrne, celebrating his extensive career as a musician. The screening will be followed by a live by satellite Q&A with David Byrne. Following from Jonathan Demme’s groundbreaking Talking Heads doc ‘Stop Making Sense’, ‘Ride Rise Roar’ is a David Byrne concert film that blends riveting onstage performances with intimate details of the creative collaborations that make the music and performance happen. Shot with multiple cameras over several concerts during the ‘Everything that happens will happen today’ tour, the documentary has behind-the-scenes auditions, rehearsals, and interviews with key players also, revealing the creative process that led to the show’s unique fusion of pop music and modern dance.
