A university researcher is fired because of the cuts to university. To earn a living he decides to produce drugs recruiting his former colleagues, who despite their skills are living at the margins of society.
Michele is thirteen year old, shy, unpopular at school, and in love with Stella. After wearing a costume for a Halloween party, he finds out that he's invisible.
A delight in every way, The Invisible Boy is a terrific spin on the superhero movie. Fun acting, clever storyline, with a wink and a nod to various classics (Batman, Superman, the Harry Potter series, among others), Invisible Boy is a great intro to the world of foreign films to young teens on up. The story is also set up for sequels--one can't help but feel this may be up for a US remake--a shame, as the charm and freshness will probably be lost in translation. And do sit through the credits--clever outtakes from the filming are included to answer the question: how did they do that? For fans of Robert Rodriguez's kids movies.
