2) Crumb, 1994, USA   DIRECTED BY TERRY ZWIGOFF
An award-winning documentary on the comic artist Robert Crumb, produced by David Lynch. Crumb comes across as remarkably affable and sane despite the various ways he's expressed his troubled perception of and hostility to women, so it was interesting to see how much women love his art as well. He's not interested in how people try to psychoanalyse him and he doesn't bother to try it on himself either, even though he goes a little way into his troubled relationship with his violent father and his own racism in the ’60s. He's just a creative guy living out his own inner nature in spite of all the self-inflicted pitfalls he's had to navigate his way through. An excellent film.

Along with American Splendor, it's one of the few films to capture the essence of comics creativity.

I saw that one a while back, and even though I don't lik Crumb's work at all I still found the doco fascinating.
