Michael Fassbender is titular enigma Frank - the leader of a pop band who wears a fake head made of papier-mâché - in this Irish comedy. Filled with aspirations, a young musician (Domhnall Gleeson, About Time) joins the band only to discover that he may have bitten off more than he can chew. Co-stars Maggie Gyllenhall as Frank's terrifying sidekick Clara. The film is inspired by Frank Sidebottom - the alter-ego creation of English comedian Chris Sievey.
"After a rocky start, Jon (Gleeson) ingratiates himself with the band members, and they retreat to a cabin in the woods to record an album. As his influence waxes, creative tensions mount, and the band’s entire raison d'être is called into question... The ensemble creates lasting images and sounds for a film that playfully examines the nature of art and artists." (Sundance Film Festival)
