Documentary update on the state of break dancing in the world today, offering a brief recap of past history, then zeroing in on the annual Battle of the Year competition in Braunschweig, Germany, providing Olympic-style Up-Close-and-Personal coverage of four contending teams from the U.S., France, Japan, and South Korea, wrapping up during the closing credits with on-location footage ranging from the Arctic Circle to Australia to “Columbia” [sic]. Nothing exceptional about the filmmaking technique (talking heads, chopped-up performances, pale digital image), but some exceptional dancing nonetheless. Directed by Benson Lee. (2008) — Duncan Shepherd
