THEMROC
Dir.-Scr.: Claude Faraldo | Cast: Michel Piccoli, Béatrice Romand, Marilù Tolo
Themroc, a cracked factory worker, lives a dull, grey life with his mother—until one day he rejects every aspect of bourgeois society, transforms his apartment into a cave and adopts a furious, primal way of life.
Told without spoken language—just grunts and inarticulate cries—this surreal, subversive cult satire, mocks the structures of family and society with wild innocence, pushing boundaries with scenes of incest and cannibalism that earned it an adults-only rating.
A stunning performance by Michel Piccoli, who conveys raw intensity using only his body and gaze.
Special Jury Prize and Best Actor Award (Piccoli) at the Avoriaz Fantastic Film Festival.
