Silva Screen pubblica la colonna sonora di Frank, eroe che dà il titolo al film e che non è solo il leader di una band d’avanguardia dal nome impronunciabile, i Soronprfbs. Frank non è un genio della musica e ha un vezzo inquietante: porta una gigantesca maschera di cartapesta. Forse è un pazzo, forse un profeta. Ma dopo aver lavorato con lui non sarai mai più lo stesso. Liberamente ispirata a Frank Sidebottom, alter ego del comico e musicista britannico Chris Sievey, e ai cantautori Daniel Johnston e Captain Beefheart, questa vicenda ci porta sul confine tra genio e follia. Per celebrare la vita ai margini. Sotto la maschera di Frank l’acclamato attore Michael Fassbender.
Il film esce in Italia distribuito da I Wonder pictures.
Tracklisting di Frank con le annotazioni dell’autore della colonna sonora Stephen Rennick cantate dagli attori Domhall Gleeson, Michael Fassbender, Maggie Gyllenhall,
1. Jon’s Crap Songs
The ‘Lady in the Red Coat’ fragment from this opening bad-song montage came from Domhnall riffing in Stephen’s studio. He was looking out the window and saw …. a lady, and she was wearing a red coat, and, there and then, one of the worst songs of all time was born.In ‘Suburbia’ Jon was grabbing for an off-the-shelf theme – in this case the cliché of stifling suburbia – thinks he’s finally come up with something decent. Worth noting that the ‘little boxes’ of the lyric are in fact lovely, big Victorian houses.
