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.

It’s an oddity to be sure, but it’s one that rewards curiosity through a rich narrative and complex ideas. One doesn’t find themselves growing comfortable with the societal-breaking elements so much as understanding them within the confines of context.
…although sensation-seekers were undoubtedly were attracted to the sex and violence, Themroc is a fiercely intellectual text that leaves audiences grappling with the meaning…a wild, original and questionable film that became a cult in the UK and beyond...
