Crumb
Weird sex · Obsession · Comic books
Directed by Terry Zwigoff
Produced by Superior Pictures
A probing, darkly comic biographical documentary that excavates the psyche of an obsessive artist through his work, family testimony, and the strange underbelly of his creative mind.
This movie chronicles the life and times of R. Crumb. Robert Crumb is the cartoonist/artist who drew Keep On Truckin', Fritz the Cat, and played a major pioneering role in the genesis of underground comix. Through interviews with his mother, two brothers, wife, ex-wife and ex-girlfriends, as well as selections from his vast quantity of graphic art, we are treated to a darkly comic ride through one man's subconscious mind.
