In any event, the film is now available on VHS and Blu-ray for audiences to bring home. It also marks the start of Ingram’s own home entertainment…

I had never heard of Talking Heads until David Byrne’s American Utopia premiered at TIFF in 2020. Watching the film last week in IMAX marked my first experience of listening to the new wave band’s music, let alone the documentary.
