5.0 out of 5 stars I'm writing about the video I watched, December 18, 1998

This review is from: Talking Heads: Storytelling Giant [VHS] (VHS Tape)

David Byrne and co. never fail to amaze me. In this, a compilation of their videos, we're not only treated to the great music and eccentric visuals & choreography of David Byrne, but we also get to hear brief snippets of some ordinary, but incredibly interesting, individuals. The ending will move you to tears.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just plain cool stuff., June 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Talking Heads: Storytelling Giant [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Talking Heads made some of the greatest music ever. These videos add a very interesting, entertaining and unique visual element to the music. Another treat are the people between the videos. They're just talking people, and it's cool. This is a terrific party video.

5.0 out of 5 stars Never ordinary, always brilliant., April 3, 2002

Talking Heads never half-do ANYTHING. This is the proof. While this video appears to be just a standard video anthology, it is much more. Each video is connected by bits of everyday people saying some strange (and sometimes shocking) things. Telling their true stories (no pun intended). These bits interconnect the videos, which are also marvelous. The videos sometimes have stunning effects or few effects... but always have a great feeling to them. The music is awesome, the videos are true art, the layout of the video is great.

And have some kleenex ready for the final scene. It's very emotional.
