Zappa is a revealing documentary by Alex Winter that traces Frank Zappa’s life, work, and relentless independence. Through intimate interviews, rare performances, and archival footage, the film charts his boundary-pushing approach to music, satire, and studio control, along with his legal battles and stubborn demand for artistic freedom. With contributions from family and collaborators, it builds a portrait of a singular artist whose curiosity and wit reshaped rock, jazz, and film.
