(M) Crumb. (1994, Terry Zwigoff) Grade: B
This documentary about comic book artist Robert Crumb is a must-see for fans. For those moderately interested (like myself), it is an interesting look into the mind of this somewhat disturbing figure and his equally disturbing family. I enjoyed the psychoanalytical babble that art critics, sociologists and old girlfriends have to say about Crumb, from themes of sexual repression to misogyny (he never hides his hatred for women) to childhood abuse. But the most memorable part of this documentary is Crumb's brother Charles, who lived with his mother, was heavily medicated and hardly ever left the house before his imminent suicide.
