Crumb – Documentary on Works of Robert Crumb
In most movies, the audience can say, “It’ll be okay. This is just a movie.” But because Crumb is a documentary, the audience can only watch (or leave), but everything will not be okay. Crumb is more than a movie; it holds the shards of a life.
Robert Crumb, the artist of the picture of four guys in big shoes stepping out under the words “Keep on truckin’.” Other well-known Crumb creations include the cover to Janis Joplin’s “Cheap Thrills” album and the character Fritz the Cat, whom animator Ralph Bakshi adapted into the first x-rated animation movie. However, to know this much about Crumb is to know almost nothing about him or his art.
