Frank

Maggie Gyllenhal

Oddball story, meant to be poignant, about a young frustrated musician who by chance hooks up with a band that plays really shitty punk/pop and launches his musical career. They are led by Frank, a weirdo who wears a fake head at all times. Several other members also exhibit strange behavior. One commits suicide.

The overall tone of this was mean, nasty...people loathed each other. They spent a year holed up in a remote cabin producing an album of music I thought was awful...and took turns spewing bile at our narrator.

There was nothing charming or endearing here...just a group of damaged people making lousy music. Who cares?
