All right — not any bands can make such a claim, historically, except for Sparks, which saw its star rise dramatically in 2021 due not to any recording or touring activity but as film creators and stars, with “Annette” and “The Sparks Brothers,” respectively.

Jazz Tangcay Artisans EditorWith the Adam Driver and Marion Cotillard film “Annette” premiering in Cannes, brothers Russell and Ron Mael, better known as Sparks, may have an early original song contender on hand with “So May We Start.”Directed by Leos Carax, the film centers around Henry (Driver), a stand-up comedian with a fierce sense of humor, who falls in love with Ann (Cotillard), a world-renowned opera singer. At the center of the film is its music, a rock opera of sorts.

Edgar Wright & Sparks Talk ‘The Sparks Brother’s Documentary, Their Lost Jacques Tati Project & More [Deep Focus Podcast]

Who are Sparks? What are they about? That’s exactly what Edgar Wright’s outstanding new documentary “The Sparks Brothers” tries to unpack and demystify.
