Movies that feel likeCrumb (1995)
If you loved Crumb, the closest films we have are A Heart in Winter (1992), Tony Takitani (2004) and Nymphomaniac: Vol. I (2013). All three share Crumb's contemplative and obsessive feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is American Movie (1999).
