Crumb

For comic-fans, even this rather minimal title will suffice: Crumb. For the others we add that legendary “pig” and satirist Robert Crumb (Fritz the Cat) is one of the living pillars of American independent comics-culture; his sharp pen has scratched many a taboo. And, Terry Zwigoff is one of the most intriguing mediums that transmit comics on the silver screen. By saying this, we certainly don’t mean frilly action ballets of commercially polished super-puppets; Ziggoff’s approach is the exact opposite. What he looks for in the drawings in particular is the story itself – that’s why he finds inspiration mainly in underground comics.
