Synopsis

This movie chronicles the life and times of R. Crumb. Robert Crumb is the cartoonist/artist who drew Keep On Truckin', Fritz the Cat, and played a major pioneering role in the genesis of underground comix.

Through interviews with his mother, two brothers, wife, and ex-girlfriends, as well as selections from his vast quantity of graphic art, we are treated to a darkly comic ride through one man's subconscious mind.

As stream-of-consciousness images incessantly flow forth from the tip of his pen, biting social satire is revealed, often along with a disturbing and haunting vision of Crumb's own betes noires and inadequacies.

As his acid-trip induced images flicker across our own retinas, we gain a little insight into this complex and highly creative individual.

The choice of songs in the soundtrack of Crumb seemed disconnected from the themes and tone of the documentary, making it difficult to fully immerse myself in the story being told.

I found the music in Crumb to be monotonous and uninspired, lacking the depth and complexity needed to complement the intricate layers of Robert Crumb's life and art.
