Themroc

1973 · 104 min

A grimy, wordless howl of rage that turns everyday drudgery into surreal, savage comedy.

Overview: Themroc, a bachelor house painter living at home with his mother, leads a sad and colorless life. One day, after a run-in with his boss, he rebels. He wrecks his apartment, rejects every facet of bourgeois life, and begins acting like an urban, modern-day Neanderthal.
