“Kill the Roach” is a dance step improvised by a child in front of his father. They find themselves in the heart of old Paris on a square in Montmartre. While the father tries in vain to seduce passers-by with his mime skills, his son, out of compassion, takes his place by dancing with gestures close to break-dancing. The public is won over. Finally, an incident makes them meet a singer who will allow them to perform on stage during an innovative show, mixing mime, singing and break-dancing.
Directed by Dov Ellia, Kill the Roach - L'art du geste leans on a strong ensemble — Regis Truchy, Eudes Toussaint, Leïla Chateau — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about music titles of 2012.
