Review of Crumb (1995) by Zack M — 23 Mar 2011
Watching this documentary opened my eyes to a man who had known through his art and his rather perverse methods of producing that art that I had known. He's an extremely interesting man and really his entire life could be a satire on men of today and what lies beneath many of the thoughts of what we call "men" now. Only Robert Crumb lays it out in the open without remorse, but it created remorse in myself because I saw myself in his life. He's the man men don't want to be but are always drawn to fall into.
The film itself is a very very typical documentary and covers all the basics such as family, friends, career, and examples of art. It's a brave film in the fact that it isn't ashamed of anything that is on screen, but I can't see myself sitting down for another viewing. It's provocative and interesting, but the subject turned me off to the film more than anything.
