UPDATE: You can now buy prints of both Frank posters from my Etsy shop: www.etsy.com/uk/shop/SundayDogParade
So last week I went to see Frank at The Watershed cinema in Bristol and the final song from the film - "I Love You All" - has been running around my head ever since. It's a ridiculously catchy conspicuously weird indie surrealist trip of a tune written by Stephen Rennicks and you can listen to it here. I would avoid it though, it's stuck in my head so firmly now that I got asked my name at the chemist the other day and all I could do was repeat the lyrics over and over again while staring blankly at a plastic container next to the cash register filled with pairs of nail-clippers, dazzling in the mid-morning sunlight.
The film stars Domhnall Gleeson, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Scoot McNairy and Michael Fassbender - who plays Frank and wears a giant papier mache fake head for the duration. It's (very) loosely based on the experiences of author Jon Ronson and his time as the keyboardist for Chris Sievey's alter-ego Frank Sidebottom and his Oh Blimey Big Band but there's also a fair helping of Daniel Johnston and Captain Beefheart thrown in too, because why not?
If this is all news to you then have a look at the trailer for the film here. I think you can probably still find it in the cinema right now and I'd urge anyone to go. It was funny and sad as well as utterly unique and I thought I'd be able to get it out of my head by making a Frank movie poster, and then a second one, but they haven't really helped at all. Anyway, these are the film posters I made for Frank.
I love the orange and green poster. Hope you don't mind that I linked it to my Pinterest folder. Best wishes. http://www.pinterest.com/pin/487162884665873568/
