tal and obscure, but its lead by a man named Frank (Michael Fassbender) who wears (and never re
mens onitsuka tiger mexico 66 moves) a giant, painted, cartoon head. As they begin preparations to record for their forthcoming album, Jon sees the experience as a way to showcase his own talent while Frank just wants an appreciative audience.
Frank is based on the true story of Jon Ronsons experience playing keyboard for the British band Frank Sidebottom Oh Blimey Big Band. The film is bizarre and may not feel so incredible while youre watching it, but its final scene really brings everything together in a way that is both heartbreaking and absolutely satisfying. The music has the same effect as it seems absolutely ludicrous at times, but the likes of Franks Most Likeable Song Ever and I Love You All will be echoing in your head long after the film ends.
The film is like an uneven blend of emotions and genres that doesnt always result in a pleasing concoction but if done right teeters on the boundaries of greatness. Music, drama, and comedy are presented in uncomfortable, sorrowful, and sometimes hilarious situations.
The charm of Frank is the character Michael Fassbender portrays. Frank is this creative genius that hides his identity like a turtle that wont onitsuka tiger 81 come out of its shell and describes his facial expressions by saying them out loud. The band perfects every little thing for 11 months before recording a single note and their field work is mostly the band capturing really weird sounds out in nature that you wouldnt think would be important in music. Frank is eccentric and unpredictable, which results in a film that travels in unexpected and pleasing directions.
After everything is said and done though, you cant help but wonder how Jon turned out. In the film, former keyboard players basically fly off the deep end. Several of the members of the Soronprfbs suffer from mental illness anyway, but Jon swears up and down that he wont end up like the keyboard player he saw trying to drown himself. While Jons actions in the band are ambitious, theyre also extremely selfish and he soon realizes that the band would have been better off without him ever being a part of it.
Frank is almost like an episode of Behind the Music where you witness the rise and fall of a band youve never heard of featuring some of the most peculiar characters and musicians youve ever come across. The music is like a more exploratory venture for Scott Pilgrims Sex Bob-Omb and the lust for fame and mainstream attention nearly destroys what was so unique about such a quirky little band.
Constantly engaging with spectacular performances from Domhnall Gleeson, Michael Fassbender, and Scoot McNairy and a finale that will resonate in the hearts of everyone, Frank is a fascinating and touching exploration of music and sound that only a special kind of person can tune into.
