Movie Reviews of Crumb (Special Edition)

Movie Review: Quite Excellent
Summary: 4 Stars

R Crumb himself is a very complex character, and the filmmaker did a fantastic job of capturing all sides of him, and the controversies of his comics.

Just for a little bit of perspective, I've never read any of his writings. All I know is what the movie told me. I'm guessing that makes me unusual, because all his fans surely rushed out to watch this.

I also think it's great.

And hey hey hey, what a dysfunctional weird family. I don't want to say more because that would fall into the "telling you what to think" category, which both the movie and its subject avoid.

I'm impressed!

Summary of Crumb (Special Edition)

Robert Crumb is known for his disturbing, yet compelling, underground cartoons: his most famous works made countercultural icons out of Mr. Natural ("Keep on Truckin'...") and Fritz the Cat. Terry Zwigoff delves into the odd world of the cartoonist in his documentary film Crumb, and the picture that emerges is not always pretty--at moments, it's almost repellent--but it's a fascinating glimpse into a very strange mind. Interviewing immediate family--Crumb has one suicidal brother, one semi-psychopathic brother, two sisters who declined to be interviewed, and a tyrannical mother--Crumb begins to look a bit saner. Given his surroundings, it's remarkable that he has survived so well. His hostilities toward women may turn some viewers off, but his wife, Aline, seems to be a grounding point, and she provides a solid counterbalance to the man. No one shies away from discussing incredibly intimate things (namely, sex!), which explains much of R. Crumb's cartoons. This documentary can definitely be considered a masterpiece for the cult crowd, and as for the rest of us, it's sure to make us feel a little better about our own lives! --Jenny Brown

David Lynch (Blue Velvet) presents one of the most critically acclaimed films ever made. A hilarious and mysterious journey through artistic genius and sexual obsession CRUMB is a wild ride through the mind of Robert Crumb; creator of Zap Comix Mr. Natural and Fritz the Cat. CRUMB enters a territory as spooky as it is fascinating... a portrait of the artist as misanthrope as bad-boy visionaryas a joker and sex maniac and finally as hero. One of those rare film experiences that has the giddy effect of being a nightmare and a party at the same time.DVD FEATURESLanguage: EnglishSubtitles: EnglishTheatrical TrailerScene SelectionsFull Screen FormatFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: DOCUMENTARIES/MISC.
