Michael Fassbender and Domhnal Gleeson star in this hilarious, offbeat comedy about a wannabe musician, Jon (Gleeson), who escapes his boring normal life and joins an avant-garde pop band led by Frank (Fassbender), a mysterious musical genius who hides himself inside a large fake head, and his terrifying bandmate Clara (Maggie Gyllenhaal).
Critically acclaimed upon its release last May, Frank poses a series of hard questions about mental illness. Layered within its exploration of artistic expression, Lenny Abrahamson’s film examines our presumptions and prejudices about mental health issues, particularly within a creative context, to leave us with a work that engages as much as it entertains.
