""Crumb", the film, like Crumb, the artist, manages to combine humour and tragic sadness in a cohesive whole. It is at once repellent and mesmerizing, encompassing nearly every aspect of humanity. From the perverse to the pleasant, it all seems somewhat, well, Natural. A truly astonishing feat from a truly astonishing documentary film."
BuzzFlash.com's Review (excerpt)
Yes, Crumb's "Genesis" is such a hotseller on BuzzFlash (and remember progressive premiums and donations underwrite our expenses because we won't accept advertising in order to ensure our independence), we thought we'd go back a few years and offer a fascinating documentary DVD devoted to Crumb's rather idiosyncratic and perhaps disturbing lifestyle.

Like many artists, there's definitely quite a bit about Crumb that doesn't meet the standards of social norms, including an extremely dysfunctional family and sexual kinkiness.

For some this will be a fascinating watch; for others, the portrait of an artist as a deranged vulgarian. For us, it was clearly gripping in its portrait of a leading cult artist who you definitely won't find teeing up at the Country Club.

"A hilarious and mysterious journey through artistic genius and sexual obsession, CRUMB is a wild ride through the mind of Robert Crumb; creator of "Zap Comix," "Mr. Natural" and "Fritz the Cat." CRUMB enters a territory as spooky as it is fascinating... a portrait of the artist as misanthrope, as bad-boy visionary,as a joker and sex maniac and, finally, as hero. One of those rare film experiences that has the giddy effect of being a nightmare and a party at the same time."

If you're looking for an exotic documentary about a truly unique and talented character, this DVD is for you.
