Eat That Question - Frank Zappa In His Own Words

The documentary is mostly a collection of media interviews with Zappa, along with some concert footage. It's worth watching just to see Frank on the political debate show Crossfire, which was completely surreal. The movie is a little disappointing in the sense that you don't get a lot of further insight into Frank, who he really is as a person and how he came to be who he was. This is probably because the interviewers were pretty terrible and didn't give him good questions. The answers were Frank's, but the questions weren't. And as Frank says at the beginning of the film, interviewing someone on camera is one of the most unnatural things you can do with them, so it's hard to get a real sense of someone that way. Nonetheless, if you're a Zappa fan, or just find him intriguing, the documentary is worth checking out.

A great insight into the world of FZ through performances and interviews at various points throughout his career, all done without narration and only by letting the information present itself. My only concern would be that I would have liked to have seen subtitles for the people speaking languages other than English, but otherwise it's very well put together and a great retrospect overall. I hope FZ is smiling somewhere....
