![]() Maxon Crumb is more functional, and a talented painter (as per the family genre, he portrays incredibly disturbing sexual subjects like incest and abuse). He committed suicide by overdose in 1993. Crumb’s childhood artistic collaborator-identified as a pedophile, and though he never acted on his urges, he refused to leave his mother’s house. Crumb also features Robert Crumb’s brothers, Maxon and Charles and both come off like victims of parental-inflicted PTSD.Ĭharles-a brilliant artist in his own right and R. The Crumb boys grew up with a pill-addicted mother and a violent alcoholic father. While Crumb has always portrayed himself as a sort of deviant/pervert/degenerate, he is most definitely the most normal one in his family. During that time, Zwigoff was living off of “about $200 a month and living with back pain so intense that I spent three years with a loaded gun on the pillow next to my bed, trying to get up the nerve to kill myself.” It’s from this statement that Roger Ebert clarified the film may have saved Zwigoff’s life, meaning that his obsession with completing the film might’ve tempered his suicidal impulses.Īlthough Zwigoff and Crumb actually were very good friends at the time the film as made (they still are and once even played in a 1920s-style string band together), it is true that Crumb was hesitant to make the film, and it’s easy to see why. This was a legendary miscommunication that stemmed from a comment made by Zwigoff describing the intense nine years of production. The famous myth about the 1994 documentary Crumb is that director Terry Zwigoff only got Robert Crumb to agree to make it because Zwigoff threatened to kill himself if Crumb didn’t participate. Lynch actually had nothing whatsoever to do with the film, but allowed his name to be used for promotion. I didn't think that added much, certainly not that sour stuff of some women.Note the presentation by David Lynch. Of course they must also be interpreted by a number of experts. In addition, the comics are coarse in subject matter, but at the same time also pleasantly absurd and above all very imaginative. Found it striking how often laughed about anything and everything.Ĭrumb's comics are also extensively discussed and I found them cool and bizarre at the same time despite the high level of disturbing. Of the three sons, Robert Crumb has nevertheless become successful, although I don't think he cares that much. ![]() The three of them also come across as troubled. Not too happy was that due to a tyrannical father and an amphetamine-addicted mother. His two brothers also make frequent appearances in the film, talking about how their family grew up. But it is also a reflection on a dysfunctional family. Dat vond ik niet zoveel toevoegen, zeker niet dat zure gedoe van sommige vrouwen.Ĭrumb is about the artist Robert Crumb who makes controversial comics with his cool style and choice of subjects. Uiteraard moeten ze ook geduid worden door een aantal experts. Daarbij zijn de comicsn grof in onderwerp, maar tegelijkertijd ook prettig absurdistisch en vooral erg fantasierijk. Sowieso vond ik zijn tekenstijl wel mooi. Vond het opvallend hoe vaak telkens lachte om van alles en nog wat.ĭe comics van Crumb komen overigens ook uitgebreid aan bod en ik vond ze ondanks de hoge mate van verontrustendheid wel cool en bizar tegelijk. Van de drie zoons is Robert Crumb desalniettemin succesvol geworden al interesseert het hem niet zo veel geloof ik. Ze komen met hun drieën toch ook getroubleerd over. Niet al te gelukkig was dat door een tirannieke vader en een aan amfetamine verslaafde moeder. Zijn twee broers komen ook veelvuldig voor in de film en praten over hoe hun gezin opgroeide. ![]() Maar daarnaast is het ook een beschouwing over een disfunctionele familie. ![]() Crumb handelt over de kunstenaar Robert Crumb die met zijn gave stijl en onderwerpkeuze controversiële comics maakt.
