1982. L'estate di Frank

in 1982 there was a boy like you who loved the Beatles and the Rolling Stones but most of all he loved Frank Zappa.... that boy was me and today 30 years after the concert at the Palermo stadium finished amidst police tear gas, I retrace Frank Zappa's journey to Palermo and Partinico, the city from which his father and grandfather left for the USA at the beginning of the 20th century. Now Frank's children, Dweezil and Diva, are going to Sicily for the first time, together with Massimo Bassoli, a friend of Frank's, who had accompanied him in 1982. It is a journey towards their Sicilian origins .... (Salvo Cuccia )

Directed by Salvo Cuccia, 1982. L'estate di Frank leans on a strong ensemble — Massimo Bassoli, Diva Zappa, Dweezil Zappa — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2012.
