Film Screening - David Byrne's American Utopia

Ghostlight Film Series and Lumiere Cinema have teamed up once again, to bring you the hit concert film – American Utopia. Immerse yourself in the music, production, choreography, and uplifting energy of this captivating show in the surrounds of the beautiful Isaac Theatre Royal!

Spike Lee’s film “American Utopia,” opens with David Byrne standing in a gray square of light, barefoot, wearing a gray suit, singing in his inimitable, melodic, nasal tenor about the brain he’s holding. “Here is an area of great confusion,” he says, pointing to a pink wrinkle. He indicates another, "Here is a section that’s extremely concise."

Spike Lee documents the former Talking Heads frontman's brilliant, timely 2019 Broadway show, based on his recent album and tour of the same name, which was itself a hybrid creature — something between a short concert and a hugely entertaining existential monologue.
