Frank Zappa: Phase II - The Big Note

Music docu­men­tary about Frank Zappa (1940−1993), focussing on his projects in the late 1960s and early 1970s. In those years, Zappa and his rock band The Mothers of Inven­tion worked on the album We’re Only in It for the Money (1968) and later on the psyche­delic, exper­i­mental road movie 200 Motels (1971). Through inter­views and archive footage, Scheffer depicts a crucial phase in Zappa’s career. Sequel to Frank Zappa: The Present Day Composer Refuses to Die (2000), Scheffer’s first film about this legendary musical phenomenon.
