Review of Crumb (1995) by Gareth S — 10 Jun 2007
Robert Crumb is a biographers dream, a painfully awkward artistic genius, his comics redefined the nature of illustrated narrative. Here he is portrayed as the demented but high functioning survivor of a family of broken misfits.
Zwigoff (who plays with Crumb's old timey band 'The Cheap Suit Serenaders'), provides us with a stylised, charming glimpse into a life utterly unusual, and wonderfully absurd; and a hint of the importance of creativity and individualism, as antidotes to consumerist conformity.
