Watch: Black Francis-Scored 1920 Film, ‘The Golem’
On November 16, Pixies frontman Frank Black, aka Black Francis, will self-release parts of his original score to director Paul Wegener’s 1920 German silent film Der Golem as an 18-track “rock opera” dubbed The Golem Rock Album. In the meantime, Black has posted the entire feature-length film and score on Vimeo, shown above.
