Crumb

Met with widespread critical acclaim but famously snubbed by the Academy, director Terry Zwigoff’s documentary gets inside the mind of underground comic artist Robert Crumb, the visionary behind some of the most recognizable strips from the 60s underground comix movement. The film compiles a career-spanning catalog of interviews with Crumb, his friends, ex-lovers, and colleagues, offering a no-holds-barred exploration of some of the cartoonist’s most controversial work. Hailed as “arguably the greatest of all nonfiction films” by Slant, this singular documentary paints a portrait of the artist as a misanthrope, bad-boy, visionary, joker, sex maniac, and hero.
