Planet B-Boy

"Benson Lee‘s movie follows b-boy crews from France, Japan, South Korea and the US as they prepare for and engage in the 2005 international Battle of the Year, staged in Braunschweig, Germany. The buildup engages you in national styles and rivalries. You see what hip-hop experts mean when they say that Japan boasts innovative choreography, France the most musical dancers, and South Korea powerful and precise acrobatics... The movie puts a humorous twist on French resentment of the US (an American hip-hopper expresses befuddlement: After all, he didn‘t vote for Bush), before zeroing in on the respectful competition between Korea and Japan, and later between Asians and Europeans." -Baltimore Sun.
