Bordering On Sanity
After reading the couple of negative reviews of “Crumb” on IMDB I re – viewed the movie one more time just to make sure that the many times when I had seen this movie before, on the silver screen and on video, I have not been in a state of delusion. With the movie fresh in my mind I want to put out this message to all the people who have made depreciating statements such as “what is Crumb moaning about, he’s famous now”, “the Sixties weren’t really like that”, “it was just two hours of whining, rambling and unjustified complaining” etc. etc.: go back to your Kevin Costner, Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise big budget Oscar winners, and stop smearing dirt on one of the best documentaries ever made. So frigging what if it’s shot with a hand – held camera and without studio lighting? “Crumb” is the real thing, it does not need any trickery or gloss. Basically it shows Robert Crumb, the artist famous for “Keep On Truckin'”, “Fritz The Cat” (though he does not like to be associated with either of them) and “Mr. Natural”, telling the story of his life through his wife and brothers, with a few scenes of him at a vernissage and a comic book store (etc.) thrown in for good measure. Call it a modern – day version of the van Gogh – story, or a look at the darker (or even just the non – Warner – Brothers) side of the flower – power generation, the human condition, the power of art, the battle of the sexes, a case history of mental illness, psychotic families, whatever. The story, and with it the film, is amazing and totally captivating. I have watched it many times and intend to watch it many times over. Give it a miss only if you expect some good, clean, family entertainment, but do so at your loss.
Heartbreaking and funny as hell
What are the odds that an artist can survive family violence, mental illness, sexual rejection, and Big Mac culture? As far as this film can make clear, three members of the Crumb family had strong artistic temperaments and significant talent. Only one, Robert, made it out alive, and his life and work are defined by resistance to what should have been a sad fate.To many, this documentary may be depressing, offensive to women, or just too damn ugly to sit through, but it made me as happy as anything I’ve ever seen on screen. Art’s ability to reveal truth and promote survival is evident in every frame. I admire R. Crumb’s courage to speak unpopular truths, to draw what gets him off, and to ferret out the art he loves at considerable expense and trouble (he’s a blues maven; one of my favorite scenes, where’s he’s sitting on his floor absorbed by aching music, is echoed in Ghost World, when Enid takes home Seymour’s record and gets lost in her favorite song). And like Ghost World, ratty, real American culture is railed at hilariously: another favorite scene involves R. on a park bench, disgustedly commenting on the ugliness of everything around him: logo-emblazoned clothes, graceless music, ugly plastic everything.
By the end of it all, I respected and liked him Crumb enormously. I’d take his scary-woman worship over the banal musings of a dime-store philosopher any day. And Terry Zwigoff deserves much praise for being able to pull it off (especially as a first-time filmmaker who had very little idea what he was doing). From high art and family pathos to a lovely animal appreciation of big round female asses, this is far more a “roller-coaster, I laughed/I cried” film than most others so touted.
