Crumb

 

Directed by Terry Zwigoff 

1 hr, 59 min | English | 1995

Robert Crumb is a respected but controversial underground comic book artist and writer whose creations include the popular “Keep on Truckin'” and Fritz the Cat (1972). Crumb’s adult subject matter includesweird sexual obsessions, social criticism, and personal, confessional observations about abnormal human psychology. The genesis and meaning of Crumb’s work is explained through a series of interviews with his colleagues, former lovers, and especially family members, which reveal a horrific upbringing that has crippled both Crumb and his siblings — but has also fueled the artist’s groundbreaking work.
