Frank (2014)

Jon is an aspiring musician who finds himself in the right place at the right time to play the keyboards for a band's gig. The band is avant garde, both in sound and personnel, but the most noteworthy thing about the group is that the lead singer wears an oversized paper mache head, which he never takes off, even when not on stage.

The aggressive weirdness of the set-up probably would've been alright with me if anything else about the story made sense or even if the music was any good. I just didn't really get any of it and the ending, especially, was a letdown; it just made me feel like I'd been tricked. I'm flabbergasted to learn that the Frank character is based on an actual person.
