> Breakdancing from Las Vegas to the streets of Europe.
Planet B-Boy gloriously succeeds at defining the breakdancing, DJing, MCing and graffiti worlds as distinct from the rap genre and focuses on the worldwide phenomena of breakdancing, particularly its athleticism and camaraderie. Visually compelling and amusing for even those uninterested in the subject matter, Planet B-Boy follows the world’s most famous breakdancing crews from their homes in Las Vegas, Paris, Tokyo and Seoul to the final Battle of the Year competition.
Shelf Talk: A title that will be of interest to all devotees of hip hop culture, Planet B-Boy also succeeds as a documentary on the most elementary level—it introduces what may well be an alien subject and manages to both educate and entertain.
