An entertaining and pertinent film that many savvy doc-lovers will catch more than once.

It's sure to speak to both hardcore Zappa fans and the intellectually adventurous music nerds of today, but it's likely to leave any unsuspecting normals cold and bewildered. And that's exactly how Zappa would have liked it.

A complex but inevitable contradiction, when it comes to analyzing a figure with so many arcs, a genius of impenetrable seriousness, capable of becoming an hilarious Dadaist. [Full Review in Spanish]

Everything is covered with Zappa's own words, with the interviews showing the candor that made the artist so beloved by some and misunderstood by others.

| Original Score: B+ | Jan 15, 2019

A collage of bad moods, wisdom and black humor, which does not fully encompass its protagonist. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 7, 2018

It helps that Zappa is an articulate, witty interview -- indeed, some might find it a more rewarding experience to watch him being interviewed on late night US 온라인카지노추천 shows than listen to his music. Of that, there is plenty.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Dec 20, 2017

There are areas of interest, such as his work with "outsider" artists like Wild Man Fisher, that are apparently unmentioned because no one ever asked him about them. If you're a fan, though, it's a must see.

I wasn't a huge Frank Zappa fan going into the movie, but I'm sad to say, I was a little less of one coming out of it.

See Eat That Question and get to know Frank Zappa.

Even those who are too young to remember Zappa's work may be drawn in by his iconic rebel status.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 1, 2016

Zappa and his music may rarely have been fashionable, but this documentary provides a valuable and permanent record of the man himself; his musical canon can be enjoyed elsewhere.

An interesting French documentary about Zappa, that truly captures his essence. [Full review in Spanish]

In a perfect world, "Zappa in his own words" would really mean nothing but his music and lyrics, which is where he would be truly himself - but this is nonetheless a thoroughly entertaining watch.

...well stitched together, giving us the flavor of Zappa's times as well as his life.
