Curiosidades
The film was not financed by crowdfunding, contrary to popular belief. The Kickstarter campaign was aimed solely at preserving and restoring the contents of the Zappa vault. The film that resulted from that preservation was itself financed by conventional backers.

Pifias
In the opening titles, it says, Zappa played a concert in the Czech Republic on 24 June 1991, to celebrate the fairly recent departure of Russian troops. It was in fact still Czechoslovakia then.

It then incorrectly states that this was his last recorded guitar performance, but that was in fact one week later at a smaller concert in Budapest.

Citas
Ruth Underwood: It was that type of music that he could produce that was a product of everything that was in him. But you couldn't really categorize it. You couldn't say, Oh yeah, that's rock and roll, 'cause it wasn't.
Ruth Underwood: It's jazz. No. It really wasn't. It's pop music. No. Not at all. Well, what the hell is it?
Ruth Underwood: It's Zappa.

A decent documentary, but certainly not "definitive".

A decent documentary, but certainly not "definitive". Given the fact the Alex Winter had unlimited access to the Zappa vault I had expected more rare footage. Still, as a general introduction to the person Frank Zappa it's not a bad starting point.
