I like Crumb, and I thought this documentary was a good way to find out more about his personal background and attitude to art practice- I'm glad it also allowed itself to enter into a nuanced siscussion about his more explicit work.
an absolutely brilliant observation of three very strange, but hilarious brothers, the main character being r crumb, comic book artist. seriously, you need to see this one.
why do all cartoonists have some certain fetishes? owh, sorry, only Crumb and Chester Brown. :))
Robert Crumb understands why women have a tendency to date guys who are obnoxious hyper-aggressive morons. Robert Crumb is a seasoned people-watcher, one that sees the absurdity of human habits and how dehumanised people have become. Robert Crumb loves drawing pictures of amazon women. Robert Crumb has contempt for sell-out culture and recognises the pitfalls of fame. Step into his world and become enlightened.
La obra de Crumb es fascinante en su libertad y transgresión (para muestras Joe Blow o el comic del cuerpazo sin cabeza) pero definitivamente lo que más nos conmueve en esta película es la historia de su singular familia. Ver a sus hermanos, aún más inadaptados que el propio Crumb resulta patético y enternecedor a la vez. Hacía tiempo que no veía una película tan deprimente (en el mejor sentido de la palabra)
The most haunting thing about Crumb's portrait is in fact his brother Charles, who's voice will be creeping out at me in the dark for ages.
Crumb depicts one of the most fucked up families I've seen in quite a while - and I mean that in the most loving way possible. Great film.
thank you criterion, thank you thank you thank you, a thousand times thank you
One of the best documentaries ever. Zwigoff had it easy with a subject this interesting, though.
Amazing documentary on the strange, disturbing, and hilarious life of robert crumb and his family, makes me understand mor of why crumb drew some of the strange things that he did and realize that his description of himself in his comics is in no way an exaggeration. It's nice to see one of the most interesting and bizarre artists of the 1960's treated with respect in this film.
