CRUMB Movie Review:
Whereof One Should Not Speak,one must remain silent.
The underground comic book artist, Robert Crumb, achieved cult status during the flower power generation as R. Crumb, founder of ZAP Comix, creator of characters like Fritz the Cat, Mr. Natural, and Angelfood McSpade. He is arguably best known to mainstreamers for the ubiquitous "Keep On Truckin'" logo, which became a contemporary Kilroy Was Here; it's has been pasted upon virtually every adornable surface since the Sixties.
The reclusive Crumb previously avoided self-disclosure, keeping interviewers at arms length with wry put-downs that revealed as much as they concealed. Filmmaker Terry Zwigoff, a friend of several decades, has always believed Crumb is an unrecognized American genius; wanted to tell his story before it was debased by some flack from the media culture which Crumb despises and which his work frequently mocks.
By report Zwigoff was able to overcome Crumb's considerable resistance, because the artist was moved to pity by the director's near suicidal despair from a creative stall. Over six years he allowed Zwigoff access to family, friends, an ex-wife and several former lovers. Zwigoff then interspersed personal footage with adulation, condemnation and equivocation by critics of various persuasions.
Crumb has received highly favorable reviews (Roger Ebert calls it "one of the most remarkable and haunting documentaries ever made."). The fanfare is unmerited: this is a cold, deeply problematic piece of business, less skilful than Zwigoff's earlier compassionate portrait of an obscure jazzman, Louie Bluie. It's often insensitive, when not alarmingly cruel towards its more vulnerable participants; and ultimately raises serious questions about the value of the very work it vaunts.Crumb initially is presented against the background of the jaunty old jazz he loves (and which he also plays expertly), as a simulacrum of one of his own flaky, feckless characters. On and off the page, his iconoclastic wit is as likely to be directed against himself as bourgeois society. He's a thin, slightly stooped man affecting dweeb hornrims, a nerd hat, and a toothbrush moustache -- all of which which foster the impression of disarming innocuousness. The more one hears and sees of him, the more one suspects this diffident image is deliberately cultivated -- or disingenuous at least.
One learns that Crumb grew up in a suburban Phildadelphia nightmare. His father, now dead, was an ex-marine martinet who beat, bullied, and belittled his family (he possibly broke young Robert's collarbone). The mother appears to have been angst-ridden, and largely ineffective in preventing her husband's depredations. Mention is made of her possible amphetamine abuse. There are five children; two daughters who refused participation (wisely, in this reviewer's opinion); an older brother, Charles, and a younger, Maxon.
Max lives in San Francisco. A semi-derelict with no visible means of support, he paints well if weirdly when he isn't lying on a bad of nails, or passing a strip of linen through his body by way of yogic purification. With little affect or regret, he tells Crumb and the camera that he was once arrested for groping a woman in a store.
