is an absorbing, minor-key take on a superhero saga that stealthily works in plenty of ideas about identity and loss. If the French film industry wants to get into the superhero game, this slow-moving but rewarding character study, which premiered earlier this year at Cannes’ ultra-indie ACID sidebar, could help create a promising niche when it opens in France this October.
Dominick’s fortunes begin to turn with the unexpected and unwanted reappearance of Richard , who can also become invisible. Richard surmises that up to 2% of the population share their burden. And as they age, it might become more difficult to summon their invisibility or they might not have enough power to become visible again, all developments conveyed in a flat and sober style without a hint of Marvel-scale theatrics.
As Dominick’s power becomes harder to control, things heat up with Elham , a beautiful, blind musician whom Dominick had previously spied on while invisible. The two strike up a relationship with the irony not lost that it takes a blind person to see Dominick for who he truly is.
