Those filmed productions are archival snapshots of the show that was\u2014such as when a show ends or when the original cast exits\u2014and makes Broadway much more accessible, opening the gates to a medium that often comes with a hefty price tag. In recent years, <em>Springsteen on Broadway<\/em> and <em>Hamilton<\/em> both pushed that envelope of what the filmed version of a stage show could relay; <em>Springsteen<\/em> felt so intimate you forgot the audience was there while <em>Hamilton<\/em> showed you why the show itself was such a massive hit.<\/p>\n<div class=\"moviereview\">\n<div class=\"moviereviewtitle\">David Byrne\u2019s American Utopia<\/div>\n<div><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dailydot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/5stars.png\" alt=\"Five stars\" width=\"\u201c235\u201d\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dailydot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/5stars.png\" alt=\"Five stars\" width=\"\u201c235\u201d\"><\/div>\n<div><span class=\"moviereviewinfotitle\">RELEASE DATE: <\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"moviereviewinfofield\">Oct. 17, 2020<\/span><br \/><span class=\"moviereviewinfotitle\">DIRECTOR: <\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"moviereviewinfofield\">Spike Lee<\/span><br \/><span class=\"moviereviewinfotitle\">STREAMING: <\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"moviereviewinfofield\">HBO Max<\/span><br \/><span class=\"blurb\">Before it closed in February 2020, Spike Lee filmed the stage version of David Byrne\u2019s hit Broadway show. Not only does it give audiences views that money couldn\u2019t buy, but it also relays an essential message amid fantastical performances. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>But <em>David Byrne\u2019s American Utopia<\/em>, which brings both Byrne\u2019s 2018 album (of the same name) and several classic Talking Heads songs to life for the Broadway stage, takes the filmed stage show to another level. It most closely resembles <em>Stop Making Sense<\/em>, Jonathan Demme\u2019s 1984 concert documentary that captured the boundless energy of a Talking Heads concert; in some ways, it doubles as a spiritual sequel. But as Byrne takes a different kind of stage, <em>American Utopia<\/em> delivers a joyful and urgent message while giving you an even better seat than the best seat in the house.<\/p>\n<p>This time around, Byrne t<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ed famed director <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/dailydot.com\/tags\/spike-lee\/\">Spike Lee<\/a> to bring <em>American Utopia<\/em>, which ran from October 2019 to February 2020 at the Hudson Theatre in New York, to life; plans to bring back the show for a limited engagement have been postponed by COVID-19. For much of <em>American Utopia<\/em>, Lee lets it speak for itself. The camerawork doesn\u2019t consist of just a couple of shots or scenes that place you in the front row or give you a view of the stage. We\u2019re on the stage, we\u2019re above the stage, we\u2019re looking across the stage, all of which is captured by cinematographer Ellen Kuras to give us a feast of light, color, and choreography by Annie-B Parson. More often than not, we\u2019re looking out straight into the audience, who\u2019s often dancing along.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dailydot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/american-utopia-review-1-66x44.jpg 66w, https:\/\/www.dailydot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/american-utopia-review-1-251x167.jpg 251w, https:\/\/www.dailydot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/american-utopia-review-1-525x350.jpg 525w, https:\/\/www.dailydot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/american-utopia-review-1-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.dailydot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/american-utopia-review-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dailydot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/american-utopia-review-1-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dailydot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/american-utopia-review-1-768x512.jpg\" alt=\"american utopia review\" class=\"wp-image-884879\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dailydot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/american-utopia-review-1-66x44.jpg 66w, https:\/\/www.dailydot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/american-utopia-review-1-251x167.jpg 251w, https:\/\/www.dailydot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/american-utopia-review-1-525x350.jpg 525w, https:\/\/www.dailydot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/american-utopia-review-1-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.dailydot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/american-utopia-review-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dailydot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/american-utopia-review-1-768x512.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dailydot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/american-utopia-review-1-768x512.jpg\" alt=\"american utopia review\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-884879\"><figcaption class=\"dd-article-img-credit\"><span class=\"dd-article-leadart-image-credit\"><br \/>\n    <span class=\"dd-article-leadart-image-credit-segment\"><br \/>\n                    <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/hbomax.com\">David Lee\/HBO<\/a><br \/>\n                <\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>As Talking Heads drummer Chris Frantz <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/movies\/movie-features\/talking-heads-on-stop-making-sense-we-didnt-want-any-bulls-t-231875\/\">put it to <em>Rolling Stone<\/em> in 2014<\/a>, <em>Stop Making Sense<\/em>\u2019s footage of the audience at the beginning and end was to \u201chave the movie presented to the viewer as if the viewer had the best seat in the house.\u201d Here, we\u2019re constantly reminded about the audience, who quickly get caught up in the music and start dancing and singing along from their seats. (\u201cThank you for leaving your homes,\u201d Byrne says to the audience, a statement that takes on a whole new meaning seven months into the COVID-19 pandemic.)<\/p>\n<p>Byrne embraces that audience, even making them a part of the show. Byrne\u2014who teamed up with HeadCount to help get attendees to register to vote before or after the show\u2014turns the light onto them during an interlude to highlight the importance of voting, and not just in presidential elections; only 20 percent of registered voters vote in local elections, which he depicted by lighting up one-fifth of the theater.<\/p>\n<p>The intimacy of <em>American Utopia<\/em>, both embedded within the fabric of the show and from what Lee captured from it, comes in other ways than foregoing the crowd. With the exception of a Byrne bringing a few props onto the stage, <em>American Utopia<\/em>\u2019s stage consists of Byrne, the 11-member band, and the instruments they bring onto the stage. \u201cI thought about the show and I wondered, what if we could eliminate everything from the stage except the stuff we care about the most?\u201d Byrne says. \u201cWhat would be left? Well, it would be us.

Backup vocalists-dancers Chris Giarmo and Tendayi Kuumba, the first two members of the band to join Byrne, are essentially tasked with keeping up with Byrne throughout most of the show, whether they\u2019re mimicking his every move or moving him around like he\u2019s a puppet, and they make it feel effortless.<\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s the connections Byrne makes with all of his fellow performers and the crowd makes that really makes <em>American Utopia<\/em> pop. The members of the band, many of whom are immigrants like Byrne (who was born in Scotland before becoming an American citizen in 2012), are the glue that hold the show together; everyone, even Byrne, dons identical gray suits and skips the shoes. The band is just as much of a marvel to behold as Byrne\u2019s vocals, and Lee never relegates them to the background; the camera is just as interested to what the band is doing as Byrne. (And Byrne is already doing a lot on his own.)<\/p>\n<p>At another moment, Byrne mentions how someone\u2019s infliction of a song can change what it means. Using his song \u201cEverybody\u2019s Coming To My House\u201d as an example, he noted that when he sings it, it always sounds like he\u2019s anxiously waiting for everyone to clear out (because he can\u2019t change who he is and the meaning he brings to it). But when a Detroit high school <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Ga97sIZlr1c\">covered the song<\/a>, it broadcasted a much more inclusive message without the performers changing a single lyric or note. And in what\u2019s perhaps <em>American Utopia<\/em>\u2019s most powerful sequence, Byrne and his band cover Janelle Mon\u00e1e\u2019s protest song \u201c<a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=wVQdXB9xgpw\">Hell You Talmbout<\/a>\u201c. Lee takes it to new heights with striking visuals that really drive the song\u2019s message home.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dailydot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/american-utopia-review-4-66x44.jpeg 66w, https:\/\/www.dailydot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/american-utopia-review-4-251x167.jpeg 251w, https:\/\/www.dailydot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/american-utopia-review-4-525x350.jpeg 525w, https:\/\/www.dailydot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/american-utopia-review-4-600x400.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/www.dailydot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/american-utopia-review-4-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.dailydot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/american-utopia-review-4-768x512.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dailydot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/american-utopia-review-4-768x512.jpeg\" alt=\"american utopia review\" class=\"wp-image-884884\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dailydot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/american-utopia-review-4-66x44.jpeg 66w, https:\/\/www.dailydot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/american-utopia-review-4-251x167.jpeg 251w, https:\/\/www.dailydot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/american-utopia-review-4-525x350.jpeg 525w, https:\/\/www.dailydot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/american-utopia-review-4-600x400.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/www.dailydot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/american-utopia-review-4-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.dailydot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/american-utopia-review-4-768x512.jpeg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dailydot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/american-utopia-review-4-768x512.jpeg\" alt=\"american utopia review\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-884884\"><figcaption class=\"dd-article-img-credit\"><span class=\"dd-article-leadart-image-credit\"><br \/>\n    <span class=\"dd-article-leadart-image-credit-segment\"><br \/>\n                    <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/hbomax.com\">David Lee\/HBO<\/a><br \/>\n                <\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Like the high school cover of his own song, Byrne doesn\u2019t change a single note during \u201cHell You Talmbout.\u201d But for audiences who will watch <em>American Utopia<\/em> at a film festival or on TV, Lee pairs the names of a dozen Black men and women who were murdered by police with their photos, which are held by surviving family members. At the end of the song, Lee includes the names of more than 100 Black men, women, and children (including George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery, who were all murdered after <em>American Utopia<\/em> ended its run) followed by the words \u201cand too many more,\u201d indicating both a list that\u2019s longer than it ever should have to be\u2014but one that will inevitably grow longer.<\/p>\n<p>A show like <em>American Utopia<\/em> won\u2019t solve things, nor does it pretend that it can within its 105-minute runtime. But, for a little while at least, there\u2019s an infectious sense of hope over just what our ability to make connections and empathize with one another could potentially accomplish. \u201cWe\u2019re a work in progress,\u201d Byrne notes. \u201cWe\u2019re not fixed.
