Description

[Machine Translation] The most Bizarre film in the history of cinema, co-produced by Bizarre Productions + Murakami Wolf Productions, Frank Zappa's "200 Motels" is finally available on DVD in Japan for the first time. Along with Saturn Sun Ra, this insane film was written and directed by Frank Zappa, a giant of composition with one of the largest discographies in human history, and Tony Palmer. Zappa's band, Mothers of Invention, is on tour and goes wild in the small city of Centerville. Touring with a band drives people crazy," said Frank Zappa, who explained that the idea for the film came to him while on tour with the Mothers of Invention. Interspersed with performances by the Mothers and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, this is a story of life on earth. The band members' main concerns are finding groupies and the desire to get paid. It is the most bizzare film on earth, difficult to understand, transcending the concept of comprehension.
About Subtitle and Audio Languages: Since most DVDs and Blu-rays available on CDJapan are produced for the Japanese market, please refer to the "Product Details" section for information on available subtitle and audio languages.

Description in Japanese

フランク・ザッパの200モーテルズ / 洋画

映画史上最もビザール、ビザール・プロダクション+ムラカミ・ウルフ・プロダクション共同制作、フランク・ザッパの『200モーテルズ』遂に初の国内盤DVD化。土星人サン・ラーと並ぶ、人類史上最大規模のディスコグラフィを誇る作曲の巨人フランク・ザッパと、トニー・パーマーが脚本・監督を手掛けた狂気の映画。ザッパのバンド、マザーズ・オブ・インヴェンションがツアー中、立ち寄った小都市"センターヴィル"で乱痴気騒ぎを繰り広げる。「バンドのツアーは人を狂わせる」とフランク・ザッパは語り、この映画のアイデアはマザーズ・オブ・インヴェンションのツアー中に思いついたと説明した。マザーズとロイヤル・フィルハーモニック・オーケストラによる演奏が散りばめられたこの物語は、地球上の人生の物語である。バンドメンバーの主な関心事は、グルーピーを探すことと、お金をもらいたいという欲求。この世で最もビザールな映画であり、理解することは困難、理解という概念を超越した作品である。
