Frank (2014)
Country: EIRE/GB
Technical: col/2.35:1 95m
Director: Lenny Abrahamson
Cast: Michael Fassbender, Domhnall Gleeson, Maggie Gyllenhaal
Synopsis:
Frustrated songwriter Jon quits his job to join a dysfunctional experimental band on a creative lock-in somewhere in Ireland. After nearly a year they record next to nothing, but the social media storm he has been creating gets them a gig at a music festival in Texas.
Review:
Notoriously eccentric quasi-comedy whose leading figure wears an oversized head for most of the movie. The thinly stretched 'alternative' material that passes for music occasionally raises a smile, a factor which proves to be unfortunately analogous to the film itself, but the conclusion is a bitter victory. In sum, many will, like Jon, wonder why they bothered to make the journey.
