Any Zappa fan is going to enjoy this movie.There are memorable performances of such titles as STINKFOOT and INCA ROADS.Looks to be clips cobbled together from two different performances. The movie has Frank's signature zany surrealism and the musicianship is impeccable. The Mothers line-up includes Napoleon Murphy Brock whose on-stage antics make for humor-filled viewing.
An air of good humor envelops the film and the claymation sequences are superb.
Probably only relevant to Zappa fans,any novice would probably find the whole project confusing.
