Living at home with his mother, bachelor house painter Themroc (Michel Piccoli, Belle de Jour) leads a dull life. One day, after an unearned run-in with his boss, the usually docile Themroc rebels and dismantles his myopic world. Made on a shoestring budget with no intelligible dialogue, Claude Faraldo's cult taboo-busting satire about a French blue-collar worker-turned-urban caveman anarchically eviscerates mid-century labor and gender politics. Never released on home video in the US, Themroc is both a savage commentary on the post-68 protest movement and a precursor to French extreme cinema, newly presented on Blu-ray from a 4K restoration.
