Just lovely
So Frank is a great film. Let’s be clear, this is not a bio-pic. It was inspired by Frank Sidebottom in so much as the story is about a band whose front man wears a big papier-mâché head.It’s a really lovely story of an odd group of musicians and their new keyboard player Jon. The musicians are all a bit barking and the beautiful Maggie Gyllenhaal is the craziest. The whole cast are superb and Michael Fassbender is excellent under the head as well as showing that he is a great vocalist too.
The film is engaging, funny and moving.It also made me jump more than any horror movie ever has. It has some wonderful scenes that made me laugh out loud and the direction is just beautiful with some truly clever touches.
It starts with a very unusual aural soundscape that draws you in immediately and finishes with the band’s songs playing over the credits that guarantee you won’t leave until the final note of “Lone Standing Tuft”.
Incidentally a documentary about Frank Sidebottom is in production right now and Being Frank: The Chris Sievey Story will be out soon.
avoid if you were a frank sidebottom fan
I never thought that anything remotely connected to Frank Sidebottom would leave me feeling angry but I can’t remember the last time I was so offended by a movie. I’m appalled at the way this film has tried to connect itself with the real Frank Sidebottom in any way, it’s like some kind of hideous nightmareish American ‘profound’ version of Frank Sidebottom, tacked onto some cooler-than-thou hipster flick …totally and utterly wrong from every angle. Frank Sidebottom was a true one-off, and this attempt to hijack his legacy and re-package it for a twitter/facebook obsessed twenty-something market is preposterous. Now I need to go and listen to my Radio Timperley cassettes on full volume and sing Guess Whose Been On Match Of The Day at the top of my voice for an hour just to get this abomination out of my head. As the great man himself would put it, absolutely bobbins.Perhaps we can look forward to the sequel, “Frank 2”. Based on the life of Frank Zappa, starring Danny Dyer doing his best ‘Danny Dyer’ voice in the title role?
