Frank (2014)
Frank starts when a man named Jon finds a drowning man on a beach near his hometown in England. The man was trying to drown himself, Jon pulls him out of the water and then man, clad with a giant paper mache helmet, introduces himself as Frank. This movie is a commentary on how mental illness is portrayed and romanticized when viewed as "high-art." Frank won awards at sundance when it came out in 2014, but it was deemed a little too abstract to be widely accepted by a public audience. This movie is both entertaining and enlightening, its a must-watch for anyone who's ever been interested in the process of creating music/art.
