FRANK<\/strong><\/p>\n

Magnolia Pictures<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reviewed for Shockya by Harvey Karten. Data-based on Rotten Tomatoes<\/strong><\/p>\n

Grade:\u00a0 B<\/strong><\/p>\n

Director:\u00a0 Lenny Abramson<\/strong><\/p>\n

Screenplay:\u00a0 Jon Ronson, Peter Straughan, based on Jon Ronson\u2019s original newspaper article<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cast:\u00a0 Michael Fassbender, Domhnall Gleeson, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Scoot McNairy, Fran\u00e7ois Civil<\/strong><\/p>\n

Screened at:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Review 2, NYC, 6\/9\/14<\/strong><\/p>\n

Opens:\u00a0 August 22, 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here in New York, the city with the world\u2019s most diverse population, you\u2019re lucky if one day passes without your spotting at least one crazy out of our seven million people.\u00a0 But I\u2019ve never seen a guy wearing a large plaster mask covering his entire face, hair painted on top, fitted so he is unable to take solid nourishment.\u00a0 Man, that\u2019s nuts, but the folks in an Irish band take such a character in stride.\u00a0 In fact, \u201cFrank\u201d is inspired by the true story of one such person, Chris Sievey, who took on the name of Frank Sidebottom, but is inspired as well by other musicians like Daniel Johnston and Captain Beefheart.\u00a0 Jon Ronson, who co-wrote the film, was part of the band, the action shot in County Wicklow in Dublin and in New Mexico taking the place of Austin, Texas, the home of the SXSW festival.\u00a0 This by way of preventing you in the audience from saying that the plot is too far-out to be real, though anything can happen in musical comedy.<\/p>\n

To label \u201cFrank\u201d musical comedy, though, may be a stretch, since you don\u2019t see people chatting, then bursting in songs that advance the plot.\u00a0 Instead, these misfits get together, converse often aimlessly though sometimes working to improve their style.\u00a0 We get the impression soon enough that these people would never be accepted no matter how many \u201chits\u201d they receive in the social media, nor do they particularly care that the music is performed principally for their own entertainment.<\/p>\n

Did we say that the band members are all emotionally disturbed?\u00a0 Frank (Michael Fassbender) for example, never takes off the big plaster mask even though it prevent him from eating solid food.\u00a0 He sleeps in it, sings and plays music in it, and is generally tolerated, even respected by his colleagues. The leader of the group, Don (Scott McNairy) is even more disturbed, though he hides his face in a broad hat, a beard and dark shades.\u00a0 He has already attempted suicide by a plunge into the ocean and will try to complete the act through other means before the story is over.\u00a0 Clara (Maggie Gyllenhaal) is a first-class cynic whose emotional disturbance is more difficult to detect, perhaps because while her action is bizarre from the point of view of someone in Ireland, it would be considered normal enough in New York.\u00a0 As the group\u2019s narrator, Jon (Domhnall Gleeson) comes across as a shy person living with his parents, a young man with mediocre talents like the rest of the band but who believes he can be celebrated as both a writer and a keyboarder.\u00a0 He gets the job with the group after an interview: \u201cYou play C, F and G?\u201d\u00a0 That\u2019s it.\u00a0 His affirmative answer puts him in their van where they take him far from his roots to a remote location in Ireland to practice doing what Frank calls journeying \u201cto the far corners of artistic creation.\u201d<\/p>\n

The film is surprisingly accessible even if you think by reading this synopsis that it would be far out.\u00a0 Jon, who is a stand-in for co-writer Jon Ronson who witnessed the band\u2019s \u201cmusic\u201d and who performed on keyboard himself, evokes distinct personalities from the members of the group, including one French duo with virtually no speaking roles, Nana (Carla Azar) and bass player Baraque (Fran\u00e7ois Civil).\u00a0 The movie does not outlive its welcome, encouraging members of the audience to laugh at the players rather than with them, though we\u2019ve got to sympathize with Jon\u2019s desire near the conclusion to \u201csell out\u201d by performing music that would more likely be appreciated by the audience at SXSW, where the group is to perform its debut concert.<\/p>\n

In the end, we get an explanation from Frank\u2019s parents about the title character\u2019s bizarre behavior, the father in Kansas taking some blame in setting his boy up for a life of disappointment and disaster.\u00a0 This is an unusual performance from Michael Fassbender, heretofore known principally as a man addicted to sex in Steve McQueen\u2019s \u201cShame.\u201d\u00a0 As Jon, Domhnall Gleeson evokes the conflicted moods of the group\u2019s newest member, one who has hopes, however farfetched, of giving the band mainstream kudos.<\/p>\n
