Reviews

Richard Crouse

A stripped down portrait of an American original whose compositions expose as much about him as his words do. The real Frank Zappa? You'll see him with your ears.

Battleship Pretension

David Bax

Despite Schütte's presentation of Zappa as a man defined by his social and political beliefs, the film actually finds him at his most endearing when it's just about his artistic pursuits.

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]
