Sparks Lil' Beethoven (2023): reparto, argumento y streaming

Released in 2023, Sparks Lil' Beethoven is a notable film, running about 115 minutes. “Filmed in March 2004 at the Södra Teaturn in Stockholm, Sweden” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. Brothers Russell and Ron Mael formed one of the most unique bands to ever grace the planet when they came up with Sparks (or Halfnelson as they were initially known) in 1968. Albums such as KIMONO MY HOUSE and NUMBER ONE IN HEAVEN spawned big hit singles, although the band continued to plough an often lonely furrow through the music world, seemingly oblivious to whether they were successful of not. In 2002 they released LIL' BEETHOVEN, another superlative addition to their catalogue. Here, they perform the album in its entirety for an expectant Swedish crowd, with songs such as "The Rhythm Thief," "Ride Em Cowboy," and "What Are All These Bands So Angry About'," illustrating their continued sense of adventure and fun in the pop medium.

Who’s in it. Sparks Lil' Beethoven stars Russell Mael as Self, Ron Mael as Self, Tammy Glover as Self and Dean Menta as Self.
