#PREMIERE MOVIE#
“I just kept thinking, while I was watching this: This why you go to see a movie in a theater,” Byrne said. As for Harrison, he’d left his row and gone to the back of the theater to dance, “so I could still experience the whole thing in widescreen.” This was the first one I’d ever been to, however, where Byrne himself was out of his seat, dancing right alongside everyone else as a 20-foot version of himself did high knee lifts during the bridge for “Burning.” A half dozen rows behind him, Frantz and Weymouth were also on their feet. So, like so many showings of Stop Making Sense over the years, the crowd at the Toronto International Film Festival premiere of the restored 40th anniversary print (as in four decades since they filmed the shows at Los Angeles’ Pantages Theater in 1983) were shaking what their mothers gave them in the Scotiabank IMAX theater. But inevitably, by the time that the first single off Speaking in Tongues starts that opening groove and the singer yells “Anyone got a match?” - it’s like being at a full-on concert. I’ve been to screenings where it starts a little earlier, around “Thank You for Sending Me an Angel,” and a few where folks are up and moving before Byrne’s opening spare, solo take on “Psycho Killer” hits its last chord. People get up and start dancing in their seats, in the aisles, in the front, and in the back of the theater. We hope to be where you meet, greet, or celebrate soon, because we do it with you.It usually starts around “Burning Down the House.” That’s six numbers into Stop Making Sense, the 1984 Talking Heads concert film, and the first number to feature not just the central quartet - David Byrne, Jerry Harrison, Tina Weymouth, and Chris Frantz - but the whole expanded band they were using during that tour. Maison Premiere continues to nurture an intimate and welcoming gathering every night of the year, despite weather, holidays, or any other reason to stay at home. Accolades have been generous, which only deepens our commitment to the history and to those who have guided us along the way. It has received nearly every major award in its industry, including a Taste Talks award and a James Beard Foundation Award for “Outstanding Bar Program” in 2016. For years, it has been favorably written about in The New York Times, Esquire, GQ, Travel & Leisure, The New Yorker, Food & Wine, Playboy, and The Wall Street Journal. Maison Premiere has long been lauded for excellence in drink making as well as its unwavering commitment to service and hospitality.
House “originals” are designed to rhyme with the classics and compliment the joys of raw bar and champagne toasts. Classic cocktails are retold with clarity and purpose. In the years since its birth, Maison Premiere has demonstrated a dedication to being equally innovative and iconic. Showcased in the center of our bar is a meticulously fabricated replica of the absinthe fountain located in the famed Olde Absinthe House in New Orleans. Our absinthe list features the largest selection in the United States and in homage to the ceremony and story of the infamous spirit, we offer perhaps the grandest version of traditional absinthe service.
We offer our guests a list of over thirty oyster varieties, all sourced through direct, established relationships with the farmers. We are inspired by the hotel lobbies and grand restaurants of New York, Paris, and New Orleans, replete with late-night diners brooding over bivalves and wading through glasses of pastis and absinthe. Maison Premiere is rooted in the traditions and ceremony of oyster bars and absinthe cafés, where at-hand service paired with frank advice about daily shellfish and quenching wines serve as well as the recipes from old bar manuals.
