      Audience Member a documentary which has just intensified my love with Zorn's music and idea of music. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member A wonderful documentary about a brilliant composer/performer. I understand what the film maker was going for by inserting herself in to film but it at times becomes a little distracting. This is definately worth watching if you are at all interested in John Zorn and/or avant music. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member I learnt a lot about John Zorn from this and it was done in an original way but Claudia spent too much time focusing on how badly she wanted to make a movie about John Zorn and how much it worried her when he didn't return correspondence as soon as she would have liked...etc....which I really don't give a fuck about...how about focusing on what's important so I can learn even more about this interesting man and less about a fan film maker.
