Frank

Based on British journalist and author Jon Ronson’s memoir about indie enigma Frank Sidebottom, this warm-hearted and thought-provoking film is adapted to screen by the UK’s Peter Straughan. Satirical, gloriously bizarre and with a fantastic ensemble cast that includes Domhnall Glesson, Michael Fassbender and Maggie Gyllenhaal, the drama-comedy is co-produced by Film4 and Runaway Fridge Productions.
