New Sparks Documentary

[Mrs Miggins]

I saw this last week and LOVED it. I knew very little of Sparks but what I knew was that they were very unusual. The film confirmed that and made me very interested in listening to more of them.

They seem like really nice and fun people as well.

Loved it.

Anyone know when it will be available to stream?

Leos Carax has won the best director prize at Cannes for Annette.

Saw Annette earlier. It's extremely random but the cast plays it straight. If there's one thing you can say about Carax, it's that he's never dull which is a damn sight more than you can say for most of his contemporaries.

Spoiler

Adam Driver's comedian is absolutely shit, even at the beginning when he's meant to be good and the audience is going wild. It's also got the most disturbing baby since who knows when.

Directed and co-written by Leos Carax who last made the brilliant and totally bonkers Holy Motors.

I loved Holy Motors. Not that I have any idea what was going on...

 

[Part 2]

Holy motors has just come onto Mubi. I'll give it a look.

Kylie is very good in it.

I have downloaded Annette but not got around to watching yet.

I have watched it now.

BBC are tipping So May We Start, from Annette, for the best original song Oscar.

Lyrics are brilliant
'and when the stewardess is near , do not show any fear'

I used to play this ( below ) constantly when a little merry and people were around the house late and my daughters and son would just cringe

New to the forum, not new to Sparks (50 years and counting), but I'm still finding more depth and ingenuity to the lyrics. I'd sung the the words to This Town for decades without ever realising how clever they were. Lots of Sparks lyrics are about feeling inadequate and scared of girls. Each verse of it is split in two. The first 2 lines are about bravado of the chase, the second 2 are about the fear in actually trying

Didn't know they had a new album... this song is fantastic!

We watched the doc earlier today, once again reaffirming the undying love for these artists.

Ron still looks proud of Paul McCartney doing Ron in the Coming Up video.

Didn't know they had a new album... this song is fantastic!

A song from the viewpoint of a 22 hour old baby who's already seen enough of the world and wants back in the womb.... as you were
