Moloch filmklubb: Crumb (1994)

[Bilde]

‘Crumb’ is a 1994 documentary film about noted underground comic artist Robert Crumb and his family. Directed by Terry Zwigoff and produced by Lynn O’Donnell and David Lynch, it won widespread acclaim. Crumb himself initially did not want to make the film, but eventually agreed. There was a rumour that director Terry Zwigoff made Crumb cooperate by threatening to shoot himself.

Preceeding ‘Crumb’, Zwigoff, although lauded by critics, took a nine-year hiatus from the public eye, much of which was spent immersed in the illustrated world of Robert Crumb. The result is a highly personal portrait, obviously crafted by a close friend: every interview feels like it’s lit to lovingly caress the nerves the comic artist unabashedly exposes for his readers.

Free entrance & popcorn.
