The Sparks Brothers - Kritiken

They’re in their 70s and they’re as charming and self-deprecating and lovely as they’ve always been, and they’re still making music.

A story as rich as this should inspire every oddball out there to go forth and cultivate. The world needs artists like these more than ever.

For anyone with an interest in the arts, this affectionate and enlightening music documentary will shine as a love letter to integrity, creativity, humor, and dedication.

A straightforward but delightful and unusually spirited love letter to the least straightforward (but delightful and unusually spirited) art pop duo in the history of British-sounding American music...

...en ambitiös dokumentär...

...a charming portrait of an astounding relationship: two brothers who have worked and created together, day in, day out, since they were infants.

...Wright’s film has converted me. Sparks are the Gilbert and George of pop music.

...doubles as an accessible, breezy introduction to a band you may never have heard of, and a springboard to further explore their celebrated back catalogue.

...[the] enthusiasm is contagious.

A match made in heaven.

...a documentary of granular detail and depth that showcases Sparks in all their glorious, indefatigable absurdity...

This is a film that loves its subjects and only someone with a biological revulsion to catchy pop or grand rock theatrics will dislike the film.

Särskilt fascinerande är att ingen av dem haft en tanke på att göra solokarriär. De har gått oskiljaktiga genom decennierna.

For gamle og nye fans er der gnistrende øjeblikke...
