The Parking Lot Movie (2010) Trailer

The Parking Lot Movie


The Parking Lot Movie is an American documentary film directed by Meghan Eckman.

Watch the Trailer! 


The Parking Lot Movie is a documentary about a singular parking lot in Charlottesville, Virginia and the select group of parking lot attendants that inhabit its microcosm. The attendants are a uniquely varied group of men comprised of undergraduate and graduate students, artists, musicians, intellectuals, philosophers and marginal-type characters. 
A strange rite of passage for all involved everything from cars and license plates, class struggles, capitalism, anger, justice, drunkenness, and awareness receive daily scrutiny and detailing. For these denizens of Charlottesville, the intersection between the status quo and the quest for freedom becomes the challenge. Something as simple as a parking lot becomes an emotional weigh station for The American Dream. In the end, as one attendant interestingly puts it, We had it all in a world that had nothing to offer us.

Crumb (1994) Trailer

Crumb


Weird sex · Obsession · Comic books


Crumb is a 1994 documentary film about the noted underground cartoonist Robert Crumb (R. Crumb) and his family. 

Watch the Trailer!



This movie chronicles the life and times of R. Crumb. Robert Crumb is the cartoonist/artist who drew Keep On Truckin', Fritz the Cat, and played a major pioneering role in the genesis of underground comix. Through interviews with his mother, two brothers, wife, and ex-girlfriends, as well as selections from his vast quantity of graphic art, we are treated to a darkly comic ride through one man's subconscious mind. As stream-of-consciousness images incessantly flow forth from the tip of his pen, biting social satire is revealed, often along with a disturbing and haunting vision of Crumb's own betes noires and inadequacies. As his acid-trip induced images flicker across our own retinas, we gain a little insight into this complex and highly creative individual.Written by Tad Dibbern <DIBBERN_D@a1.mscf.upenn.edu>

Surrealism: Spanish painter Óscar Domínguez, contemporary of Picasso. The film
 rediscovers the life of a talented artist who was ignored after he committed suicide,

Lucas Fernández turns the life of a debauchee, who regarded himself a monster
 because of his disfiguring disease, into a universal story where art is the
 product of love and loneliness, of sex and violence before, during and after
 the Nazi invasion of Paris.
