Lubos Vacke has directed an unconventional promo for Czech alt-country outfit Frankie and the Deadbeats' new album Sometimes Drunk, Always Fucked Up: a comic tale where hardly any music is featured at all - and that's the point.Vacke's short film, co-written by him and Tomáš Novotný. You Are All Mine For The Night begins with a man (played by Kamal Boulema) preparing for a special moment of solitude at home - until the front doorbell rings. His girlfriend (Gabriela Chojnacki) has made an unexpected visit, interrupting his plans. We are about to find out how much this man will sacrifice to listen to Frankie & The Deadbeats’ new album. The director says that the inspiration for the film came from watching an interview with Henry Rollins, "about how important it is for people who love music to sit down and listen to a record. They look forward to it, plan for it, and want to enjoy it undisturbed."He adds: "We all have our own small rituals that mean the world to us while listening, and the people around us often don’t understand them. Bingo. Together with Tomáš Novotný, we translated that insight into a romantic relationship, where we put the characters in front of a question: what are they willing to sacrifice to be alone from time to time without ending up lonely?"
