Frank is a 2014 British-Irish comedy-drama film on DVD, directed by Lenny Abrahamson.
Frank is an offbeat comedy about Jon (Domhnall Gleeson), a wannabe musician who finds himself out of his depth when he joins an avant-garde pop band led by the enigmatic Frank (Michael Fassbender), a musical genius who hides himself inside a large fake head, and his terrifying bandmate Clara (Maggie Gyllenhaal).
From a lakeside cabin, where the band spend 18 months – and all of Jon's savings – recording their new album, to the stages of South by Southwest after the band becomes a viral internet sensation, Frank tells the story of Jon’s struggle with Clara for control of Frank, his rise to power within the band, and how, ultimately, he comes close to destroying the thing he’s come to love.

The Double Film Reviews
“A funny yet poignant film… weird, wonderful, and utterly unique” The Observer
“Totally unique and funny – bonkers in every conceivable way… surreal, abstract, laugh-out-loud funny and quietly moving” Total Film
“Bonkers, ballsy and brilliant…looks set to become one of the cult films of the decade.” Daily Star
“The film's real standout is Fassbender…Brilliantly and humorously examines how catering to the whims of others and relying on their approval can be much crazier than putting on a giant, fake head and telling people you're giving them a big smile” The Collider
“Fassbender delivers moments of heartbreaking fragility…Frank takes time to wrap your own cranium around…and that's a wonderful thing.” Time Out New York
