David Byrne's American Utopia
Polyfilm
Concert film about the Broadway show by Talking Heads mastermind David Byrne: Together with eleven musicians, singers and dancers, Byrne creates a political performance at the Hudson Theatre in New York, in which topics such as social justice and democratic consciousness are negotiated along the way. "Byrne and Lee (camera: fellow dancer Ellen Kuras) - two old New Yorkers celebrate 'togetherness.' In choruses, but linked to positioning: vis-à-vis the power state, racist violence, the happiness routines of White America. Same as it ever was. Very fine!" (Dr. Robnik)
