Terry Zwigoff is the director of the recent (and absolutely brilliant) Ghost World (produced by John Malkovitch) starring Thora Birch (American Beauty) and Steve Buscemi (almost every movies by the Coen brothers and Reservoir Dogs).

This weird man was a very good friend of the equally-weird Robert Crumb (a well-known underground cartoonist who wrote a lot about his "hippie years"). Zwigoff was in fact the first publisher of Mr. Crumb and played in his band, The Cheap Suit Serenaders. We get to hear a song of the band in Ghost World. Terry Zwigoff directed a documentary in 1994, about his friend called, you guess it, Crumb.

Terry Zwigoff filmography:
Louie Bluie (1985)
A family Named Moe (year unknown)
Crumb (1994)
Ghost World (2001)

Zwigoff and Crumb are currently working on a screenplay called The New Girl Friend, which will hopefully see production soon.

Funny fact: when I first looked at Zwigoff's picture, I thought he was Robert Crumb. Both have weird hair and a silly mustache. In fact, Ghost World really looks like a Crumb strip. All the colors, lights, all the characters. If you're a fan of the 60-70s and/or of Robert Crumb, you have to see Ghost world.
