Review – Confessions of Robert Crumb

Proof – as if it was really necessary – that artists don’t always make the best film-makers, particularly not with themselves as their subjects. Crumb’s rather brief autobiographical piece has some interesting footage but sheds little worthwhile light on his life or work. Further, he comes off looking like kind of a creep. Accurate though that might be, he’s a lot more fun when he communicates with his drawings rather than his mouth. Mildly amusing
