Crumb

DIRECTED BY: Terry Zwigoff

REVIEWED: 09-28-95

The unusual life of comic-book artist Robert Crumb gets dissected in this rewarding documentary by Crumb's friend, Terry Zwigoff. Without passing judgment or drawing conclusions, the movie takes an in-depth look into Crumb's dysfunctional childhood family and contrasts it with the dark, psychologically unnerving stories in his cartoons. The details that emerge are painful, sad, and often funny; Crumb turns out to be the sort of character whose idiosyncratic life and work connect in several dimensions, many of them hidden, all of them fascinating.
