200 motels (2010)/ Frank Zappa & Tony Palmer

Speelfilm met de muziek van Frank Zappa en The Mothers Of Invention .\nReleased on DVD for the first time, by original director Tony Palmer, is this flawed masterpiece of circa 1970 Frank Zappa craziness. Obviously shot in a very short time on a very low budget, some of this drags, but some of it is really funny and/or spot-on; I still see the 're-education camp for musicians' sequence in my dreams. This is remastered from the original video tapes and coordinated by Tony. I guess Tony Palmer, a well respected and pioneering director in the UK, has as much claim to release this as anyone else (it is not and never was 'owned' by Frank), but I can't imagine that the Zappa Family Trust is going to not try to block this and I would suggest that you buy this while you can before it becomes a $200.00 eBay item.\nIncludes extensive booklet with sleeve notes and a specially recorded director's commentary giving insights, wisdom, and amusing anecdotes while giving the true story behind this legendary film.
