MOVIES . . . "CRUMB"

Comic strip artist Robert Crumb is the subject of "Crumb," a documentary thatTIME film critic Richard Corlisssays should have won the Academy Award for best documentary. The movie is a portrait of the "almost socially autistic" artist and his equally strange family. Crumb's fears, particularly of women, whom Crumb feels are so inaccessible "they won't even let me draw them," are chronicled here, as well as the frustration shown in comics with titles like "Words fail me (Pictures Aren't Much Better)." Of Crumb's work Corliss says "With care and wit, he draws his own demons and goddesses. One thing he never draws is conclusions. That is for the viewer to do, and be horrified or edified."
