action
The same rut every day: getting up in a bad mood, riding a bike to the metro , surrounded by crowds by taking the metro to work and doing a boring job there. After being pummeled by his boss, the painter Themroc finally loses patience. He bricked up the door of his Paris apartment, dismantled the outside wall with a sledgehammer, tore off his clothes, threw the furniture on the street and began his next phase of life as a cannibalistic caveman , for whom incest with his own sister is no longer taboo .
It doesn't take long before his example rubs off on the increasing number of residents in the surrounding apartment blocks. In a very short time holes in the walls yawned everywhere, and instinctual anarchism is lived. At some point the police will come because of these conditions . But even state authority and tear gas cannot stop the goings-on. Two policemen land on the spit and are then eaten. Finally there is moaning and grunting all over Paris.
Not a single articulated word had been spoken before either. Instead, only sounds that were vaguely reminiscent of the French language could be heard .
Reception and reviews
After its publication, walked Themroc rapidly from an insider tip to a popular success in European cinemas . This can be explained with the zeitgeist of that time of parts of the audience, which was shaped by the political ideas in the aftermath of the 1968 movement (see also left-wing radicalism and Sponti ). This included a certain sympathy for actions that were directed against state authority or against the power of the entrepreneurs .
The established film critics were consistently less enthusiastic at the time , as they found almost nothing in the anarchist tendency of the film.
"Michel Piccolli grumbles, screams, roars, grunts, growls and roars admirably through the speechless film and radically destroys his salon lion image."
