Frank Zappa (1971): cast, story & where to watch
1971 · Film
Released in 1971, Frank Zappa is a music and documentary film directed by Roelof Kiers, running about 88 minutes.
What it’s about. The Documentary centers around Zappa at home, and on Tour. The amazing thing is that Zappa allowed a guy with a camera to film the band at the Fillmore West w/ Flo and Eddie. There are times when the camera man seems to be on the stage. The performance is recorded from only one camera angle. There are only 4-5 songs presented here.....and Zappa referring to the Fillmore West as the ‘Psychedelic Dungeon’ is priceless………..It is a great piece of history.
Who’s in it. Frank Zappa stars Frank Zappa as Self, Dweezil Zappa as Self, Moon Unit Zappa as Self and Gail Zappa as Self, among others.
