I keep looking for any sort of change in the man but, like many of his generation, he has fossilized.chickelithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10773887469972534979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-66733687736246759012016-06-20T21:35:32.874-04:002016-06-20T21:35:32.874-04:00I rad the interview.

Crumb moved to France to escape the inane bourgeois trappings of America. He probably feels more vulnerable in France <i>viz.</i> outspoken criticism of radical Islam or Islam in general, though he lives in the rural south of France, IIRC. <br /><br />That being said, he had some wonderful insights and one liners in the film which is why it's a favorite of mine. chickelithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10773887469972534979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-49233075201260189302016-06-20T20:27:27.169-04:002016-06-20T20:27:27.169-04:00Terry Zwigoff's "Crumb" is worth see...Terry Zwigoff's "Crumb" is worth seeing if you want to understand the man. <br /><br />I wonder if R. feels any guilt over hastening his brother Charles' suicide? chickelithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10773887469972534979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-50471134087247749942016-06-20T18:47:48.230-04:002016-06-20T18:47:48.230-04:00Never got the guy.
