Our take

Legendary antihero Robert Crumb is a perfectly ambiguous subject for an in-depth documentary, which took no less than 9 years to make. For the connoisseurs of the nerdy cartoonist and novices alike, this is a delightful and informative trip into his bizarre, fantasy-filled and obsessive world.
