Review of Crumb (1995) by John A — 02 Sep 2012
An interesting portrait of this artist and his family, the film reveals something not just of the underground world of comics, but more importantly of an underground world inhabited by human beings. And if the content of the comics isn't enough, the revelations about Crumb and his family (some of which was apparently kept out of the film) ensure that the comics exhibit an overwhelming air of sadness.
Art seems to have saved him from one end, but to something so broken that the sadness remains.
