Stop Making Sense, like other Demme films such as Melvin and Howard or Something Wild or Neil Young: Heart of Gold, can make you feel giddy in a way that you associate with movies you watched as a child. You feel the pleasure of people who know better engaging in a delirious foolishness, and you surrender, which is exactly, of course, what the title was telling you before you walked into the theater or pushed play.
