Summary

The Sparks Brothers is Edgar Wright’s 2021 documentary charting the singular career of Ron and Russell Mael two brothers from Los Angeles who have been confounding audiences and reinventing themselves since 1972. Witty, obsessive, and completely unlike anything else in rock, Sparks spent five decades defying genre, geography, and expectation. Wright’s film makes the case convincingly that they may be the most important band you’ve never properly listened to.
