Plot: "An working-class man turns into a modern caveman."
Very enjoyable "revolutionary" and "arty" movie from Claude Faraldo and a bunch of cult actors from the 70's (Café de la Gare crew, Miou-miou, Patrick Dewaere, Coluche, etc...). You can watch it even if you don't understand french as there is no dialogues as such: everybody is speaking an invented/mumbled language, except Michel Piccoli, the main character that use the world "Themroc" during the entire movie, for everything. After an incident at the factory, Piccoli locks himself in his flat and brakes the wall, to make it more like a cave, the neighbors are mysteriously attracted to his regresive way of life and begin to join him. A group of policemen and some workers from the factory are joining below his flat to try to force them out of their asocial behavior. Doesn't really works as Piccoli goes hunting at night and comes back with a policeman that they'll use for diner ! Wonderfully free and hilarious at time, "Themroc" shows that another way of making movies is possible.
