VOLEUR INVISIBLE, LE

Genre: Short film
Year: 1909
Description: A man buys the INVISIBLE MAN by HG Wells from a bookshop and, discovering a formula for becoming invisible, he goes on to commit a number of robberies. The police pursue him but he uses his invisibility to escape from them. A mature film which demonstrates the way Chomón has evolved, as the visual trickery employed here is driven by a complex narrative, told through a modern interpretation of cinematic language, which blends comedy, the animation of objects and an original storyline with literary references.
