Thông tin về bộ phim này

Frank is the hilarious, offbeat comedy about a young wannabe musician, Jon (Domhnall Gleeson), who finds himself out of his depth when he joins an avant-garde pop band led by Frank (Michael Fassbender), a mysterious musical genius who hides himself inside a large fake head, and the terrifying Clara (Maggie Gyllenhaal). Directed by Lenny Abrahamson (What Richard Did) and written by Jon Ronson (The Men Who Stare at Goats) and Peter Straughan (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy), Frank is an uproarious road-trip of musical mayhem. Loosely inspired by Ronson’s memoirs about cult stand-up legend Frank Sidebottom, it’s the must-see comedy of the year!

Could have been great, but fails to dive deeply into either the music or the issue of mental illness with any real commitment. The main character's nativity fumbles with some of the serious issues of mental illness, only the story of Frank really lands but comes to little to late - wish it had been developed further.

Having seen frank live I thought this would be a great opportunity to see more and relive some of his fantastic humour. Strangely I only recognise the head everything else is alien. Maybe this is his early life but I just don't see the point of this story there's no plot.

It's not a family movie if that's what you are looking for. It's a great comedy, with really funny moments and a slight sad flavour, since it deals with a main caracter (how good is Fassbender that can pull a wonderful performance without using any facial expressions!) that has a mental illness. Probably one of the weirdest movies I saw last year and the one I enjoyed the most.
