The Sparks Brothers

Filmmaker Edgar Wright explores how one rock band can be successful, underrated, hugely influential, and criminally overlooked – all at the same time. A musical odyssey exploring five weird and wonderful decades with brothers Ron and Russell Mael, celebrating the inspiring legacy of Sparks – your favorite band’s favorite band. Featuring commentary from celebrity fans Flea, Jane Wiedlin, Beck, Jack Antonoff, Jason Schwartzman, Neil Gaiman, and more, this documentary is “funny and alive at every possible turn (Jordan Hoffman, The Guardian).”

"Never have I seen a documentary as fun as Wright's The Sparks Brothers, which is thrilling from beginning to end."
Brandon Towns, RogerEbert.com
"[Edgar Wright] is such a good filmmaker, and he's made a really fun, creatively challenging movie that's worth seeing whether you're a fan or not."
Claudia Puig, FilmWeek
