CGiii Comment

Articulate, multi-layered and dignified...

Lifshitz chose his subjects well...geographically, economically and intellectually...all eloquent.

It's a beautiful, engrossing film...neither a talking heads extravaganza nor an exercise in social history - it's a celebration of nostalgia...of lives led in [quiet] defiance.

Important stories. Our history.

Quite, quite lovely.

The(ir) Blurb...

"Les Invisibles" (The Invisible) of the title are a group men and women born between the two world wars. They have nothing in common except they are all gay and that they decided to be open about their homosexuality at a time when society rejected them. Despite general disapproval, they refused to deny who they actually were, thus maintaining their integrity. Today they talk before Sébastien Lifshitz's camera. Without hate. Without bitterness. With cheerful dignity.
