Zappa (Special Edition, Blu-ray+DVD+2 CDs)

Frank Zappa is one of the most influential personalities in rock. The album "Freak Out" served the Beatles as inspiration for the collage-like sounds on "Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band", and his biggest hit "Bobby Brown" keeps his memory alive to this day. Alex Winter (THE PANAMA PAPERS) pays tribute to the multi-talent, who died in 1993, who made the boundaries between serious and popular music disappear. For the film, the Zappa family allowed him access to the private archive of the guitarist and founder of the cult band Mothers of Invention.

The documentary impressively traces the life of the brilliant artist, who is one of the most important composers of the 20th century. Alex Winter shows Frank Zappa as he saw himself – as a serious musician in freak garb. Thousands of hours of carefully digitized videos, photos and audio files formed the basis for a captivating documentary that reveals a lot of new things even to Zappaists with its abundance of previously unreleased recordings.
