Description

"You're in for something funny, touching and vital. A hymn to the healing power of art." - Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

"A weird and wonderful musical comedy about an oddball outsider band whose mentally ill frontman insists on wearing an expressionless plaster mask at all times…Still, amid so much arch weirdness, FRANK proves remarkably accessible. Behind its inscrutable exterior beams a welcoming smile." - Peter Debruge, Variety

A young wannabe musician, Jon, discovers he's bitten off more than he can chew when he joins a band of eccentric pop musicians led by the mysterious and enigmatic Frank (Michael Fassbender), who wears a giant fake head, and his terrifying sidekick, Clara (Maggie Gyllenhaal). After a rocky start, Jon ingratiates himself with the band members, and they retreat to a cabin in the woods to record an album. As his influence waxes, creative tensions mount, and the band's entire raison d'être is called into question. The ensemble creates lasting images and sounds for a film that playfully examines the nature of art and artists. FRANK possesses such creative audacity and thought-provoking observations—propelled by a barrage of wit, performance and, of course, song—that you're bound to emerge feeling as if you have seen and heard something completely original.
