Plot
Crumb director Terry Zwigoffs first film is a true treat a documentary about the obscure countryblues musician and idiosyncratic visual artist Howard Louie Bluie Armstrong member of the last known black string band in America As beguiling a raconteur as he is a performer Louie makes for a wildly entertaining movie subject and Zwigoff honors him with an unsentimental but endlessly affectionate tribute Full of infectious music and comedy Louie Bluie is a humane evocation of the kind of popcultural marginalia that Zwigoff would continue to excavate in the coming years
