Winter deftly organizes mountains of archival footage to craft a fascinating career retrospective of this singular artist. Zappa the man, the musician, and the activist rarely aligned with popular tastes, but Zappa the film should appeal equally to fans, haters, and those who've never heard of Frank Zappa.
