Far away of Oscars, it's too bizarre for them, besides there's a tendency to nominate films about social issues. And I don't think Amazon will campaing for this movie. Besides Adam Driver has two movies likely to be launch as oscar contenders, so low spectation.
@@JonathanNelsonOfficial Not really... Sparks' story, Sparks' music, Sparks lyrics/text/script whatever you want to call it. Leos Carax has asked for adjustments to make it work before the camera and on the screen. In some occasions he has co-written these adjustments. This story was meant to be Sparks' next album at the time when they wrote it. They had planned to tour with a storytelling show, not exactly a musical, but let the songs tell story alone, not a play. Ron and Russell asked Carax for his opinion on the material, and after thinking about its possibilities he said he was interested in making it a film. That led to a further developing of material, both the already written and additional. All music, maybe some minor exceptions, I can't tell for sure, and the original story, all Sparks. New material and adjustments are made by Sparks, after Carax' wishes and requests. That's where Carax has had his influences on the lyrics. Don't say this is an achievement by ONE person. Without Ron and Russell Mael of Sparks this hadn't been in the first place. I'm NOT saying that all Leos Carax did was strolling around the cameras playing the accordion, no way!! He has done loads of work to put this together ADDITIONAL to directing. I'm not disregarding his part, AT ALL. As your comment applied to disregard Sparks' part in making this film. I think that right should be right, Sparks wrote the original story, lyrics and music. Period. Leos Carax took it from being an music album and a tour. Sparks AND Carax worked out, wrote and re-wrote adjustments. A lot of team work. YOU ARE RIGHT about Leos Carax is a fantastic director and film maker. Absolutely.
Perhaps this will be one positive outcomes of the pandemic. First people get to know about the documentary, more people get to know about Sparks, more people learn to know and understand their music. Not even the people in charge of the Oscar Academy Awards could miss it, if they don't choose to, of course. It's remarkable how such people can put their heads with eyes and ears deep into the sand when something is outside their normal comfort zone.
@@jayshreejazz 'The Sparks Brothers' by Edgar Wright. Easiest is to google it. Premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January this year (2021), out on theaters in the UK and the USA, will be available all over Europe. The title is what Sparks' was suggested to change their first name, 'Halfnelson' to after their first album didn't sell. It was thought to be a pun on 'The Marx Brothers'. However Sparks didn't like it much, but agreed with just 'SPARKS'. About using 'The Sparks Brothers' as the name of the group they (Ron and Russell) have said multiple times "We hate it". Consider the name of the docy a loving teasing from Edgar Wright, who is a huge fan and friend of theirs.
@@deborahblack2585 In the beginning of the song, then in the choir. Noticeable, but not in the lead. I'm a huge Sparks fan, LOVE Russell's voice. So OF COURSE his part is just 💖❤️💖😊!
TAKE MY WORD : This will be the theme song of Cannes and probably should be themes around the world, film festivals, theatres, music shows, all places opening up after a devastating big break
That was what made me research the project: Adam is singing. Very cool? What kind of music might it be? A few years later I can say I fell in love with Sparks, so now I’m even more hyped, if possible...
@@alexandralechman115 Yeah, I got it turned around from the answer on their page. They gave me the times everyone started, and for whatever reason I thought he said Ron instead of Russell.
No, it's not. Russell only sings lead to 1:06. I got this info from the Sparks Twitter page after specifically asking who was singing on which verse. You can CLEARLY hear Adam singing starting then. I've heard his singing voice prior to this. Sparks say he starts at 1:06, so that's the end of the discussion. If you dont agree, take it up with them.
Hello I'm a longtime fan of Russell and Ron too! They are so unique, genuine, sincere, authentic, truthful, passionate MUSICIANS! !! This song is again so original, melodical, otherworldly, I love especially the style of an gospel chorus and in the end the saxophone tune ! AMAZING INCREDIBLE GUYS! !! RUSSELL AND RON I'm falling in LOVE WITH YOU AGAIN AND AGAIN! ! How wonderful beautiful MUSIC can be while you are in this WORLD! !!! I wish you from the Bottom of my heart much Success in Cannes and also with your amazing documentary too!!
This goes back to an eclectic sounding 70's art-rock sound . It's already one of my favorite Sparks songs in a long , long list traversing the decades . I can't believe they now have 25 albums . Nostagia !
As a a fan of the actual song, this is awesome. Sparks rules!!!! The rest of the world is finding out, next week. AWESOMERIFFTASSTICAL, with a wolf!!!!
When this movie-album started, I frowned. Then I got kinda angry, like how presumptuous. Then I started laughing, like from the anger at first, but then into just disbelief at what I was experiencing. My partner asked me, after a bit of that, "like, are you enjoying this? because i'm not sure." And through laughing, I responded, "No! This is terrible! I think?" Five minutes later, I said, "so that was pretty good." Some 45 minutes later, it was, "this is incredible." Now I'm here the next day listening to the music again.
Based on opening alone, this musical is gonna be WEIRD. The plot summary confirms this as well. It's giving me Great Comet vibes with the fourth wall breaking and I am SO excited.
It is: The original story by Sparks, music and lyrics by Sparks "Re-arrangements" to film (originally meant as Sparks' next album and a story to be shown on stage on the next tour!) by Sparks and Leos Carax Directed by Leos Carax. You can't be serious if you say you expected a new Lassie - movie? 😁😍
OMG!! Did you just refer to THE Great Comet, as in, ‘Natasha’ is young and, what about ‘Pierre’?, & ...?? From your lips to OMG’s ears!! Destination, for now unknown, I’ve a feeling we’re in for a seriously surrealistic and magically meta journey. Destination be dammed! Count me in!
This Is great! I can't stop listening to this song. Amazing Adam. I really really love his voice. I'm very excited for this movie. It was just brilliant👏👏🥰
It's funny, I've loved Crepax's work and was excited for his new film when I saw the trailer a couple weeks ago. Meanwhile, I've known about Sparks without knowing much about Sparks, but because I saw their name in the Annette trailer I decided to watch their documentary and now I'm both a Sparks fan and ten times more excited for Annette as well! I seriously don't get how Sparks flew under/over my radar all of these years. I've always been into experimental /weirdo/ underground music and listening to their discography I've realized so many bands I have known and loved have built their entire careers off of the sound spawned from a single Sparks song. Finding Sparks this late into my life feels like I missed an entire floor in my musical library because the entryway was hidden behind a door that I mistook for a mirror. It's kind of a bummer, but also incredibly exciting and life-affirming to discover such a treasure trove of art and inspiration just when you wondering if the well had run dry.
There are very few reasons for me to go to the movies. This is one of a few exceptions. Wouldn't be surprised if Sparks get some sort of nomination for their writing or music. A little premature to think that,being the movie isn't even out yet. But I have a feeling this may be one of the year's better films
I feel like if Annette was a stage production and not a film it would even bigger. I hope they bring it to broadway because it seems almost perfect for the stage
Sparks opened their recent concert in London with this song and my god, what an opener! I'd not actually heard it before the concert and now I'm obsessed! I love how it builds up!
It only seems fitting that the Mael brothers, a.k.a. Sparks finally get the recognition they have always wanted (from their homeland, America), at the final years of their respected careers. Been a fan since I married my Sparks crazy husband back in 1976. They are definitely weird, different, whatever, and Annette will show fellow Americans what they have been missing for 50 years. I shall weep with joy when that happens as will my hubby.
This couldn't be any more 'Sparks-ish', with that thumping operatic pop style that goes back decades, and which always sounds fresh. Ron Mael's influence is all over this.
I do have great love for musicals but I cannot wait to see this. The.music sounds good, the story is.mega weird and it has a star cast. Cant wait to see it!
Listen to the official Annette soundtrack here: annette.lnk.to/highlightsAY
This HAS to be the opening song for the Oscars; and then it should win one.
it would be perfect
Leos Carax and the Sparks are way too high for the Oscars.
Adam Driver: future Oscar and Grammy award winner
Sparks, future Oscar, etc winner: original story, original music.
Yessss
This is my favourite comment ever.
Far away of Oscars, it's too bizarre for them, besides there's a tendency to nominate films about social issues. And I don't think Amazon will campaing for this movie. Besides Adam Driver has two movies likely to be launch as oscar contenders, so low spectation.
The amount of Adam driver’s range this movie is gonna show off..... way too excited for this movie- the sparks are also brilliant.
🙌
😓
Leos Carax is the man behind all of this. Learn him. An all time great of cinema.

Between Edgar Wright's documentary and this, we went from the darkest timeline to the Sparkest timeline

@anna backman Thank you so much !
I really don’t think I will stop singing this song 24/7 for at least the next two weeks
I'm STILL going strong with about a dozen plays of "Your Fandango" a day, lol!
I haven't stopped singing it since I saw the movie. :-)
Yes!!
This is the best song in 30 years. This is the kind of song The Beatles would have probably made if they'd stayed together a little longer.
The fact that this song didn’t win or even get nominated for the Oscars is insane.
Adam and Marion's voices are just GREAT!
And Russell Mael who's the main singer?
@@deborahblack2585 In the beginning of the song, then in the choir. Noticeable, but not in the lead.
I'm a huge Sparks fan, LOVE Russell's voice.
So OF COURSE his part is just 💖❤️💖😊!
Are you sure it was the real voice of Marion Cotillard? She was dubbed in all the movie!
@@adeledg6516 well, Marion is a great singer. And the actors repeated again and again that they were singing while shooting the movie.
@@lulufee5961 Don't trust everything you read....
TAKE MY WORD : This will be the theme song of Cannes and probably should be themes around the world, film festivals, theatres, music shows, all places opening up after a devastating big break
Omg yeasssass
This is going to be a Theater Anthem for all opening productions. Just watch.
No

I am so excited to see this movie, mainly to see Adam Driver sing 😀
That was what made me research the project: Adam is singing. Very cool? What kind of music might it be? A few years later I can say I fell in love with Sparks, so now I’m even more hyped, if possible...
This is amazing. Adam has a terrific range.
Russell Mael is the main singer.
@@deborahblack2585 He's only the main singer in the first chorus and verse, then Adam takes over for most of the song until right at the end.
@@deborahblack2585 OK, I asked at the Sparks site: Ron sings until 1:06, but from then on, it's Adam with Marion .

I saw the movie in Paris. It's an Oscar nomination for best original music. No doubt.
This song made it to the Oscar shortlist for Best Original Song.
If it gets nominated, it’ll be a perfect opener at the Oscars.
And the Oscar for Best Original Song goes to...
And 'Original Music', 'Original Story'.
if Sparks get nominated for an oscar i'm going to weep. straight up. joyously.
What I really want is Ron and Russell to get a nomination. For song, score or even script. They deserve all love and success in this world.
I’m thinking there will be a bigger song in film that’ll be the main contender
Fingers crossed!! 🤞🏼🥸🤞🏼
Marion Cotillard’s voice is just gorgeous!
Adam Driver OMG amazing
My body is ready for this movie
BEST COMMENT EVER, HOLY SHITTTTTTTTTTTT!!! MINE IS, TOO!!!
I started screaming when I heard Adam singing
"I will haunt you" is the track that haunts me from the movie. It is utterly brilliant.
Can't stop listening to this!!! Thank you, Mael Brothers!!! Thank you, Carax!!! Thank you, Adam and Marion!!!
Please, start the show!!!
Marion Cotillard's vocal tho 💕
LOVE this! There is no limit to the genius of Sparks! Now, please don't ever stop!
This movie just left me in tears and speechless. What a work of art.
Sparks never miss an album !!! Adam is magnificent. OUTSIDE THE WHOLE SOUNDTRACK👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
it’s the way in which i’m HYPED for this movie 🤩
So fresh and original....as ever...

Adam Driver doing amazing as always!!
What a teaser, I cannot wait to see the movie.
Same here.Annette will reach us here in London this September.I know i will cry & laugh at the same time like during the genius Holy Motors 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
This goes back to an eclectic sounding 70's art-rock sound . It's already one of my favorite Sparks songs in a long , long list traversing the decades . I can't believe they now have 25 albums . Nostagia !
A very clever use of homophones. May we sounds like the french Mais Oui or "but yes". So they're saying "yes, yes start now.
I swear this needs to be the opening for the 2021 Oscar's. 🥺🥺❤❤❤
I'm DYING to see this movie. Everybody involved is amazing!!!
As a a fan of the actual song, this is awesome.
Sparks rules!!!!
The rest of the world is finding out, next week.
AWESOMERIFFTASSTICAL, with a wolf!!!!
You're safe to give a thumbs up to anything by Sparks before you've even heard it.
That's how I do it, and have yet to regret it
Sparks CAN'T be bad. Period.
Yo espero que Adam Driver se lleve el Oscar este año... ¡QUÉ ACTORAZO!
This is absolutely and utterly legend..!! The genius of the Sparks brothers seems to be inexhaustible..!
I have an excellent feeling about this whole project.
Can't wait for this movie.Good song. Adam has so beautiful and calming voice ❤️
Brilliant. Just freaking brilliant.
Adam driver's talent really shows in 'Annette.'
That's amazing. It's an opera rock. I'm singing all the time 🤩
Happy to see Simon Helberg again!
Simon has a great voice, I like Adam’s too.
Tomorrow "Annette" finally is gonna be in theaters in Germany! Can't wait to watch it! 🥳
It's so good to hear The Sparks again. They were my favorites in the 70s and still have the kick

It is:
The original story by Sparks, music and lyrics by Sparks
"Re-arrangements" to film (originally meant as Sparks' next album and a story to be shown on stage on the next tour!) by Sparks and Leos Carax
Directed by Leos Carax.
You can't be serious if you say you expected a new Lassie - movie? 😁😍

From your lips to OMG’s ears!!

My god I can’t stop listening to this!!! Did an addiction started?
The song is great and I can't wait for more!
Super smart music...so engaging and theatrical. Sparks... legends from their first recording.
This went live on my birthday! Thanks for the present, Ron and Russell.
Adam is going for his Oscar 🔥😍
The second I heard Adam’s voice chime in, I immediately went, “aww!” Just love him! 😍
Perfect way of setting the tone! I loved the film and this song got me hooked fast!
Let the magic begin 🌿🌿🌿🌿
Thank you Sparks & Carax 🙏🙏💚
I’m so excited for this movie!!
This Is great! I can't stop listening to this song. Amazing Adam. I really really love his voice. I'm very excited for this movie. It was just brilliant👏👏🥰
So, a tale not of sound and fury, but songs and fury... a very Maelian twist. I predict: this song won't fade out.
The premise, plus Sparks and cast had me excited go watch, the trailer was amazing and after this song, i cant wait
Last Sunday I saw this film, ended up going twice more this week, Mind Still Blown
AAAAAAAAAAAA I'm so excited! A Sparks musical! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Love this. Very much looking forward to the film and soundtrack.
Sparks always have their finger on the pulse. Started listening to them before the other "mod drag bands" in the 70s. So refreshing to hear them
I’M SO EXCITED AAH this song has been playing in my head for the past few days!!
Jeez I love this song...and I love this version. ❤☮🌎
We'll sing and die for you -yes in minor keys
This is just... so so fantastic, let's not forget our roots
i wont be surprised if it becomes a broadway play

A little premature to think that,being the movie isn't even out yet. But I have a feeling this may be one of the year's better films
Yup. This is now my go-to song to start my work (from home) day!
This is gonna rock
If this is just the FIRST song....holy crap.

Usually musicians are finished by the time they're 40. Not Sparks. In their 70s, still routinely make catchy masterpieces.
AMAZING 💚 I'm so excited to watch it! Leos Carax is one of the few filmmakers who still makes me believe in cinema.
This song is BRILLIANT!!!! I have to come expect nothing less from Sparks!!! The ANNETTE musical is going to be epic!!!!!
I can't wait until this comes out in the U.S.
Great art coming thick and fast
Masterpiece
omg I'm so excited! I love musicals and I love this vibe!!
If played live by Sparks it's quite a banger.
whatever your opinion may be about Annette, it can't be denied that this song is a banger.
It only seems fitting that the Mael brothers, a.k.a. Sparks finally get the recognition they have always wanted (from their homeland, America), at the final years of their respected careers. Been a fan since I married my Sparks crazy husband back in 1976. They are definitely weird, different, whatever, and Annette will show fellow Americans what they have been missing for 50 years. I shall weep with joy when that happens as will my hubby.
Divine composition! Its a new modern classic masterpiece from The Sparks genius.
I came here for Adam and found a catchy song!
Absolutely amazing song
Unbelieveble amazing
Catchy as hell !
This couldn't be any more 'Sparks-ish', with that thumping operatic pop style that goes back decades, and which always sounds fresh. Ron Mael's influence is all over this.
Probably the best thing to start a show in any place you name.
It just isn't time to begin yet. I love this song completely 🖤
I wonder if this movie breaks the fourth wall at the start, and it opens like this? That would be insanely cool.
Very much something Carax would do and the song is self referential so I would bet on it
Probably. It was hinted in the trailer as well and this song kinda confirms it.
I'm picking up subtle hints from this song that it's at the start.
@@csurname Mais oui!
well ... it does. just got out of the movie theatre, and this is a hell of a weird movie
Best Sparks song for movie soundtrack since "Knockoff"
Ce film… ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Thanks Edgar and Sparks, we now apparently have a new anthem for the up and down lockdowns of Australia. Ugh hard times, but thanks guys. xx
I do have great love for musicals but I cannot wait to see this. The.music sounds good, the story is.mega weird and it has a star cast.
Cant wait to see it!
