See Michael Fassbender as Never Before in New 'Frank' Photos

If you checked out my reviews from Sundance or tuned in to the recap +Tim Gordon and I did a few days ago, then you know that Frank topped my list of favorites. I described it as "chaotic, unpredictable, and utterly lovable", and it was the only film of the entire festival that drew me in for a second viewing which is no easy feat out there in Park City. While there's no release date just yet, a handful of new images have been released for the film that is brave enough to hide Michael Fassbender's face under a giant papier mache head.

 Exploring with humor the thin line between creative genius and insanity, the Lenny Abrahamson-directed comedy stars Fassbender as Frank, the leader of an underground band known as Soronprfbs. Domhnall Gleeson is Jon, an aspiring musician with no life experience and questionable talent who becomes their new keyboardist (they have trouble keeping them sane) just in time to record a new album. But Jon's desire to reach a wider audience clashes with the group's decidedly un-mainstream sound, threatening to pull them apart. Maggie Gyllenhaal and Scoot McNairy co-star in two completely batty roles that make the masked Frank seem stable by comparison.
