As much as the film stands as a testament to Knight's craft as editor, it also acts as a thematic dialogue between the dream pop band's music and the images by one of cinema's greatest auteurs, spanning Mann's work from Thief (1981) to Blackhat (2015). It's a mesmeric work, both visually and sonically, acting also as a document of Knight's own development as an editor after suffering an injury and using Mann's footage and the band's album to relearn how to edit. Mann's Sparks is a spellbinding celebration of cinematic language and how it can be reused, relearned, and reimagined into new possibilities. Written by imagineNATIVE See less Read more: Plot summary
