Brazil’s O2 Play Re-Releasing Classic ’80s Talking Heads Concert Doc ‘Stop Making Sense’ (EXCLUSIVE)
Brazil’s O2 Play is releasing a string of classic films in cinemas, starting with the 4K restored version of ‘80s concert docu, ‘Stop Making Sense.’
As part of a strategy to build a new cinephile audience and revive the filmgoing experience in Brazil, São Paulo-based distributor O2 Play is theatrically releasing a selection of classic films, starting with A24’s 4K restored version of the seminal ‘80s Talking Heads concert docu, “ Stop Making Sense ” by Jonathan Demme. “I had already been chasing the film but when it was screened a few months ago at a small independent cinema run by director Kleber Mendonça (“Aquarius”) and it sold out within a couple of hours, I knew we were on the right track,” Kupstas told Variety. O2 Play, which forms part of powerhouse production company O2 Filmes, owned by Paulo Morelli, Andrea Barata Ribeiro and Fernando Meirelles, is also planning to release a remastered version of the 2004 crime drama “The Edukators,” 20 years after making a splash in Cannes.
