Story
Themroc, a bachelor house painter living with his mother, leads an unfulfilling life until one day he rebels against his mundane existence after a confrontation with his boss. He trashes his apartment, rejects modern society, and begins acting like a caveman, communicating solely through grunts and gestures. His radical transformation ripples outwards, causing chaos in his family and community as people struggle to comprehend his new way of life.
Summary
Themroc (1973) is a French film directed by Claude Faraldo, starring Michel Piccoli as the titular character who undergoes a shocking transformation from a conformist bourgeois man into an urban Neanderthal. The film is notable for its complete absence of dialogue, with Piccoli's performance comprising only grunts and gestures to convey Themroc's rebellion against societal norms. It is a critique of modern society's expectations and the absurdity of human behavior when faced with nonconformity.
