...Modern Times" covers a good stretch of Crumb's career, from his early formative years to his recent autobiographical work. If it all gets too much, there's a chance to drop out, or at least drop off, in a chill-out zone with Crumb's music on the soundtrack. He plays the banjo, composes his own music, and is into early jazz. Crumb's wife, Aline Kominsky-Crumb, is also a cartoonist and sometimes they produce his-and-hers strips - he draws him, she draws her. A Day in Our Beautiful Life (2000) shows them after they moved...
...Mona, 1970: The Jazz Singer of fuck films, Mona was pretty sure of itself for a lonely pioneer. It had a busy soundtrack: clavichord, old pop tunes, harmonica and jug band music, an Indian raga and a long audio extract from The Taming of the Shrew. It revealed Mona as a kind of fellatio virtuoso: when a guy she has solicited for a back-alley blow job tries to pay her, she replies daintily, "I didn't do it for money.

The camera dwells excessively on Mars’ deranged face and on Jennifer’s expression as they lock eyes, against a background of fire and a blatantly angelic soundtrack, making the whole scene slightly twisted, a bit scary, and very, very laughable...
...driven alternately by money, fame, winelust, and terroir, the film’s untranslatable but ubiquitous term meaning something between “soil” and “heartland.” The film itself is driven by its energetic camerawork, tantalizing leads, and a madcap soundtrack ranging from vintage French cabaret to the Kinks. Adventurous moviegoers should be driven by curiosity and the desire to stray from the well-beaten Hollywood track, and they will not be disappointed...
