Featurette: “Frank”
Now this is a movie I want to see! From Indiewire (Russ Fischer):
One of my favorite films so far in 2014 is Frank, the movie in which Michael Fassbender plays a musician who spends every minute of every day wearing a giant fake head. That’s a pretty good way to get some attention for the film, but Frank is a very funny and genuinely wonderful movie about the process of creativity, and the fact that some of us are simply no good when it comes to making music and art.
IMDB plot summary: “Jon, a young wanna-be musician, discovers he’s bitten off more than he can chew when he joins an eccentric pop band led by the mysterious and enigmatic Frank.”
Check out this clip:
What a weird concept, yet the movie looks funny as hell, yet also with some interesting things to say about what it is to be a human. Here is a 10-minute featurette with interview excerpts from co-writer Jon Ronson, director Lenny Abrahamson, and actors Domhnall Gleeson and Michael Fassbender.
People complain about unoriginal movies. Frank is clearly not that. For those of you in the U.K., it opens today (May 9). We here in the States will have to wait until August 22 for the movie to hit theaters.
Frank has an 88% critics rating at Rotten Tomatoes and at its debut at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival, one reviewer described it this way: “This terrific and sublime experience, and strikingly original film, is mandatory watching for the adventurous viewer.”
The only way to see more original movies get produced and distributed is to support them when they are released. Declare Your Independents and go see Frank!
