The legendary Talking Heads celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of their first live show with the first-ever music video for their classic song “Psycho Killer,” directed by Mike Mills (C’MON C’MON) and starring Saoirse Ronan (LITTLE WOMEN). The video follows a young woman (Ronan) unraveling while stuck in her daily routine. She moves through the same unchanging settings—bedroom, kitchen, office, car—while becoming a different version of herself each day. Her outfits loop across the days in a steady visual rhythm, as her emotions veer wildly from contentment to anger to numbness and spiral into sudden outbursts or haunted silences. Mills’s disquieting portrait of isolation echoes the tension at the heart of the song.
