Yeraltı çizgi roman sanatçısı R. Crumb’ın çalışmalarını bilenler, birkaç tahtasının eksik olduğunu tahmin edebilir ve gerçekten de haklı çıkabilirler. Oysa ki Terry Zwigoff’un, Crumb’ın hayatını anlatan bu hüzünlü ve büyüleyici belgeselinin en büyük keşiflerinden biri, R. Crumb’ın, hepsi de beklenmedik yetenek ve yaratıcılık sahibi olan ancak bu yaratıcılık gücünü birbirinden son derece farklı hal ve dışavurumlara akıtan üç kardeşten en az acayibi, ve en iyi uyum göstereni olması. Kardeşlerden biri, zamanının çoğunu San Francisco sokaklarında meditasyon yaparak geçiriyor. Diğeriyse, evinde annesiyle gizlenerek klinik depresyon ve delilikle mücadele eden bir münzevi. Bu iki kardeş de en az R. Crumb kadar sanata yatkın ve yetenekli; ve filmin büyük kısmı, paylaştıkları görece sıradan çocukluk evresinin üç kardeşi nasıl farklı yönlere itmiş olduğunu gözler önüne seriyor.

Twenty-five years ago the renowned art critic Robert Hughes made The Shock of the New, a landmark television series that examined the key cultural movement of the 20th Century. Now he's back to look at more recent work and to question whether modern art can still be shocking in its originality and understanding. In an age of media saturation it's perhaps even harder to tell what is good art and what is bad; but Hughes cuts through the marketing and the hype to reveal the art that is vital and will last; the art which defines the times in which we live. In a film which features interviews with David Hockney, Paula Rego, Jeff Koons and Sean Scully, Robert Hughes makes the case that painting, drawing, and the search for beauty matter more than ever before.
