Documentary Review: “Zappa”

- Home movies anchor new FZ film

Frank Zappa would rather have had his music go unplayed than to be played incorrectly.

His life’s mission - and he says this in multiple archival interviews in the new documentary “Zappa” - was to find the people who could play it correctly so he could listen to it.

If others wanted to join him, he’d make records and sell them. If not, he’d listen alone.

The iconoclastic genius finally gets the documentary treatment he deserves with the unimaginatively titled “Zappa,” a vast improvement over 2016’s “Eat that Question.”

Using scads of never-before-seen home movies dating to Zappa’s childhood; archival interviews with the composer/guitarist; and contemporary chats FZ band members including Ruth Underwood, Ray White, Steve Vai and others, director Alex Winter paints a picture of Zappa that’s almost as colorful as the film’s title character.

“I was a tool for the composer and he used his tools brilliantly,” Vai says at one point.

“Zappa” begins during Zappa’s final guitar concert in the newly democratic country of Czechoslovakia in 1991. Long a symbol of freedom - “turn off that Frank Zappa music,” the secret police used to say to rock ‘n’ roll-loving kinds - behind the Iron Curtain, Zappa’s arrival there was like the Beatles’ in America.

The airport mobs were startling for a man who spent his music-making years on the fringes.

“Basically, my career has been year after year of waiting to be disposed of,” he says to an interviewer.

From Eastern Europe, the film moves to chronological storytelling: childhood in Maryland; the Mothers of Invention in L.A. and New York; back to California; being thrown offstage and severely injured; on to “SNL;” “Valley Girl;” jazz; orchestral music; the Synclavier.

While the music and the stories are, of course, essential, the found footage is the deal maker.

And a heavily bearded Zappa appearing on a television news program wearily discussing his final illness.

Underwood - who said Zappa’s music changed her entire worldview - broke down in tears when discussing his 1993 death from prostate cancer at age 53. She then summed up his life’s work as well as anyone ever could:

“You couldn’t really categorize it,” she says. “You couldn’t say ‘Oh, yeah, that’s rock ‘n’ roll,’ because it wasn’t. ‘It’s jazz!’ No, it really wasn’t. ‘It’s pop music!’ No, not at all. ‘Well, what the hell is it?’ It’s Zappa.”

The film ends almost as it began. Zappa is in Germany with the Ensemble Modern. It’s his final public appearance, conducting the symphony’s Yellow Shark concert, which the audience rewarded with a 20-minute standing ovation.

If a composer has to go out, there’s hardly a finer way to do it.

As ever, Zappa has the final word.

“We were loud, we were coarse and we were strange,” he says as he turns off the light in his extensive vault. “And if anyone in the audience ever gave us any trouble, we’d tell them to fuck off.”
