Review: Frank (2014)
Rating: 9.2 of 10
What do you do when you cast Michael Fassbender in your film? Not cover his face for the entirety of the film, unless your film is Frank.
Frank follows the story of an amateur keyboardist, Jon (Domhnall Gleeson), as he becomes the newest member of experimental rock band The Soronprfbs, lead by titular character Frank (Michael Fassbender) who wears a fake big head and never takes it off.
It's a bizzare concept to begin with (which was actually inspired by a true “big head” musician), but the movie, somehow, felt normal. Despite its heavily unusual premise, Frank isn't avant garde at all--it's just a drama about a few weird people intermixed with a few weird songs, and basically that's about it. And it's not a bad thing at all. Frank is honest, a little disarming, but an ultimately charming film. In a weird way, Frank is about what it feels like to be a mediocre artist--and in another way, about how it’s like to be with the mentally ill.
The most important thing to be discussed about Frank, for me, is the acting and/or casting. Domhnall Gleeson is cast quite often as an "everyman" type of character, and for good reason. He's not only got the range, he also is able to infuse unexpected shades of personality into his characters. Jon is wide-eyed as he is misguided, a visionaire as he is a cynic, and hopeful as he is selfish.
But Michael Fassbender as Frank, is definitely something special. We can't see his face, but we emote to him instantly. With every way he stands, sits, talks, and twitch his hands, you'd never once at lost as to how he is feeling. It's a beautiful performance that we almost never think twice about, which is a hard feat considering he wears a literal fake giant head. But my favorite part of him is (mild spoiler alert) actually how his demeanor changes when he doesn't wear the head. It's subtle acting that definitely makes a movie. Even Maggie Gyllenhaal is kind of restrained in her role as the troublemaking band member, Clara.
But acting isn't the only thing that works in this film. Its score was a delight, especially in the early part of the film which sounds so whimsical and airy--almost kid adventure-like--sending Jon off into his journey. In general, the movie Frank is filled with restrained but effective directorial choices, without trying too hard or being too muted (which for me, is the case with a lot of indie films). It’s a wonderful film to watch.
"Road to fame" band films are a dime in a dozen, but TL;DR Frank, with the help of few amazing performances from its actors, brings a new twist worth seeing.

В честь нового года я нарисовала своих любимчиков. Такой своеобразный подарок самой себе. Сделала их такими, как я себе их представляю и какие мне больше нравятся, поэтому у Гипноса есть крыло, а Иви шайни, Кокушибо же изображён как Мечикацу. Рисовала три дня подряд, но довольна результатом, особенно впервые нарисованными бородами. О! И Моран у меня мой, знаю в сериале ббс его не было, а фанаты зачастую рисуют его блондином, но мне нравится, что он рыжий. Так он больше похож на тигра.
Плюсик бонусом моя котя, которую я обожаю.
In honor of the new year, I drew my favorites. Such a peculiar gift to myself. I made them the way I imagine them and what are their versions I like best, so Hypnos has a wing, and Eevee shiny, Kokushibyo is a Mechikatsu. I've been painting for three days in a row, but I'm happy with the result, especially with the beards I drew for the first time. Oh! And Moran is my vision, I know he wasn't in the BBC series, and fans often paint him as blond, but I like that he's redhead. So he looks more like a tiger.
Plus bonus is my cat, which I adore.
