Crumb
Movie • 1994 • Documentary
ReportThis movie chronicles the life and times of R. Crumb. Robert Crumb is the cartoonist/artist who drew Keep On Truckin', Fritz the Cat, and played a major pioneering role in the genesis of underground comix. Through interviews with his mother, two brothers, wife, and ex-girlfriends, as well as selections from his vast quantity of graphic art, we are treated to a darkly comic ride through one man's subconscious mind.

No assaults visually take place, but Crumb's brother talks about the times he molested women casually and in a positive light. As if it was a completely normal thing to do. Then rape is described as a thing he "never got to do", but wanted to.
To me, this is just as bad as a visual rape scene.

Discussed by the person who committed the assault as if it was a funny anecdote, but not shown.
There are also some pretty graphic comics shown that depict or imply sexual assault, grotesque sorts of sexualized imagery, and reducing women to sexual body parts.

Graphic discussions of sex, masturbation, sexual fantasies of the main character and some of his family members both as children and adults (illustrations are shown of some things that are talked about). Many of the comics and artwork shown are very graphic and sexual in nature, and could be viewed as pretty disturbing.

Not an eating disorder, but one of the main character’s brothers is shown swallowing a long piece of cloth tape and talking about how it takes three days to pass all the way through and that he does this often.

A lot of misogyny talked about and depicted. One brother talks about molesting women in the past and that he targeted Asian women.
There are also some extremely racist depictions of people in some of the comics, though it is explained to be in criticism of American culture.

In one comic a woman is revealed to have had her head pushed inside of her body, when it is pulled back out later. She does not suffer any injury during or afterward, but she finds out that during that state she was given to another man to be used sexually.

Comics that glorify/fetishize incest between parents and children are shown in detail at one point; some interviewees and artists attempt to justify it
