The Sparks Brothers Review

The compelling and thorough documentary "The Sparks Brothers" honours the illustrious band Sparks. The movie, which was directed by Edgar Wright, takes viewers on an exciting journey into the mysterious and colourful world of this significant partnership, Ron and Russell Mael. It recounts their five-decade career with rigorous narration, examining their early difficulties, breakthroughs, and enduring artistry. Wright expertly combines interviews with musicians, artists, and celebrities who like Sparks to demonstrate their significant influence on the music industry. The film completely immerses spectators in the band's avant-garde music, outlandish stage persona, and distinctive wit and profundity. The Sparks Brothers' inspiring and uplifting story highlights their artistic fortitude and the genuineness that saw them through ups and downs. A wonderful harmony of humour, nostalgia, and passion is maintained throughout by Wright's direction and captivating narrative. This documentary is a must-see for everyone who understands the importance of uniqueness and aesthetic vision in influencing the development of music history, regardless of whether they are ardent Sparks fans or are unfamiliar with their work.

TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

None of Ron's snow globes were harmed during the making of this documentary.

First documentary to be directed by Edgar Wright.

The Maels hadn't seen Todd Rundgren since he produced their first album in the early 70s. Their surprise reunion on set led to a collaboration on the song Your Fandango released in 2021, 50 years later.

Edgar Wright appears as a talking head himself because Tim Burton bowed out of a planned interview at the last minute, and Wright didn't want to waste production time.

In deleted scenes included on the Blu-ray, the brothers revisit places from their youth, and perform in a Pizza Express that used to be the club were they played their first UK gig.

Popular Dialogues

"Jack Antonoff: All pop music is rearranged Vince Clarke or rearranged Sparks. That's the truth."

"Edgar Wright: Are you brothers? Russell Mael: We are brothers. Edgar Wright: How did you first meet? Ron Mael: We are brothers."
