About This Movie

Les Invisibles captures the raw and poignant stories of elderly LGBTQ+ individuals who reflect on their pasts with wisdom and candor. The documentary unfolds at a leisurely pace, allowing you to fully absorb their experiences and the emotional weight they carry. The atmosphere feels intimate, almost like sitting in a living room with these pioneers as they share their truths. The performances are striking, not in a theatrical way, but through their genuine, heartfelt narratives. There’s a sense of resilience that permeates the film, as each character recounts their struggles against societal norms. It’s distinctive in how it merges personal history with broader cultural shifts, shedding light on a time when being openly gay was a radical act. Really a fascinating slice of life.
