Zappa
No upcoming showtimes scheduled.
Director: Alex Winter
2020 / 129min / DCP
A musical genius whose virtuosity as a musician and composer was equaled by his gift for antagonism, Frank Zappa has always been a divisive, love-him-or-hate-him proposition—but wherever you stand, it’s hard to walk away from Winter’s engrossing film on Zappa’s life and art without admiring its subject’s principled independence and fierce, iconoclastic intelligence. A labor of love documentary portrait, featuring new interviews with Zappa intimates as well as a treasure trove of material culled from the musician’s enormous personal archives, brought together to shed light on a prickly, complex, and totally unique artist, locked into a lifelong struggle against compromise and cliché.
Intro and Q&A with Alex Winter Sunday, November 20
