What is it about? Eat That Question: Frank Zappa in His Own Words
Utilizing potent TV interviews and many forgotten performances from his 30-year career, we are immersed into Frank Zappa’s world while experiencing two distinct facets of his complex character. At once Zappa was both a charismatic composer who reveled in the joy of performing and, in the next moment, a fiercely intelligent and brutally honest interviewee whose convictions only got stronger as his career ascended.
Genres: music, documentary. Themes: composer, musician, rock star, rock music, avant-garde, progressive rock.
