Crumb1995

Zwigoff not only presents a complex human being and the range of his art but also guides us through a profound and unsettling consideration of what it means to be an American artist. Essential viewing.

It's very personal, hell I'd say intrusive, of the artist's personal life, but hey, it was made under Robert Crumb's permission. Zwigoff's careful direction gives us no **** as we learn the endearing highs and disturbing lows which colour the original comic life of "Crumb". This is a masterful example on how a documentary should protect its integrity without sacrificing entertainment quality.

Extraordinary new documentary that turns Robert Crumb's twisted life story into a disturbing, exhilarating work of biographical art.
