Frank
Nate von Zumwalt
How do we really know that it’s Michael Fassbender behind that lollipop-shaped fake head in Frank? Frankly (sorry), the evidence is equivocal – but we’ll give him the benefit of the doubt. Beyond that playfully absurd film that casts Fassbender as a Daft Punk-esque musician (that is to say, full of enigma), August is a breakout month for Sundance films of all shapes and sizes. Fan-favorite and Audience Award winner Dinosaur 13 retains the childlike wonder of our dinosaur-loving days with a tension-filled documentary about the legal battle over the largest T-rex ever discovered, and indie film veterans Mark Duplass and Elisabeth Moss suffer through the throes of a combusting relationship in The One I Love.
Check out these and other Sundance Institute and Sundance Film Festival supported films hitting theatres, coming to DVD, or showing through #ArtistServices this month.
