Planet B-Boy

 

USA 2007, 95 minutes
Dir. Benson Lee
Genres: Documentary / Dance, R&B/Hip-hop

 

Aroview: Energetic doco follows five B-Boy crews from around the world vying to be top dog at the 2005 Battle of the Year break-dance competition in Germany.

Sparing the almost pre-requisite sociological analysis and historical enlightenment in favour of the adrenalised spectacle of pumped-up competition, the raw spirit and exhilarating moves of the competitors help to compensate for the scarcely intimate personal histories of a few dancers, while the variety of countries represented speaks to the universality of a dance form once held to be an underground fad practiced mostly by New Yorkers.
