Review of Crumb (1995) by Genesforhire . — 04 Jan 2007
A poignant, honest documentary about the life of artist Robert Crumb and his family. It's directed by Zwigoff, who also did Ghost World (some of the pictures in Enid's sketchbook were done by Crumb's daughter).
The sexual frustrations tackled and revealed from the film is gutsy and handles it in a very indie sort of way. I was fascinated, inspired, and at the very same time saddened when I first watched this film.
There is so much truth and humanity I can relate to since it deals with some of the madness it takes to be an artist of the same integrity as R. Crumb. It's over ten years old now, but the ideas portrayed are timeless.
A favorite for personal reasons.
