action
Josephine Lorenz, known as Fine, is an inconspicuous acting student from Berlin who lives with her single mother and her disabled sister Jule Lorenz. Completely exhausted, she takes part in an audition for the new production of the play Camille . Despite all the roars, she falls asleep on stage and embarrasses herself. But the theater director Kaspar Friedmann invites her to another audition, where she convinces him with her knowledge of Danish and her naturalness. To everyone's surprise, she is cast for the lead role of Camille. Friedmann quickly takes Lorenz under his wing and tells her about Marlon Brando and how he assigned an animal to each character to be played in his method acting form . Friedmann sees Camille as a starved hyena. Fine accepts Friedmann's statements and plays the starved hyena at home. After further tips to empathize with the character of Camille, Fine begins to impersonate Camille and follows her secret crush, her neighbor Joachim. She speaks to him in a Chinese restaurant and they both get closer. However, Fine stops at the kiss. Nevertheless, she continues to meet with him.
A short time later, Friedmann discovers that Fine has a disabled sister, Jule. He asks Fine to eat, to talk to her about the character of Camille. Both also talk about painful experiences in their past. Fine tells how she broke her arm at the age of eight, hiding the injury, and her parents didn't notice that her arm was crooked because they were too focused on her sister Jule. When asked by Kaspar, Fine reveals that she wanted Jules dead. Later, Kaspar had a rape scene reenacted with the students and Fine. With the pain she has experienced, she provokes her mother so that she hits her. Since Kaspar's tips work to empathize with the figure of Camille, she sleeps with him and moves away emotionally from her tunnel builder Joachim. With all her experienced anger, Fine freaks out at rehearsals and lashes out wildly. Kaspar is absolutely thrilled, but some of the other actors are horrified because they wonder how far acting can go. Fine gets to hear that Kaspar is sucking himself into the psyche of his actors like a leech before he lets go and ignores them. Fine then asks Kaspar why he cast her as the leading actress in the first place and learns that it was only because she was mentally damaged.
Fine is shocked and from then on provokes Kaspar. She also eventually refuses to undress on stage. Things are getting worse at home too after she provoked her mother. She finds her room completely devastated, whereby her mother claims that it was Jule. Fine hopes to find peace with Joachim. She sleeps and is happy with him. He even asks her to go abroad with him. But when he follows her the next morning, finds her naked at rehearsals in the theater and hears the dialogues she breathed into his ear, he is horrified and disappears again. When Fine also has to hear from her mother in the evening that she blames her for Jule's being so unhappy, she freaks out at night and almost suffocates Jule with a pillow. She tries to apologize the next day, but Jule is distant and disapproving towards her. Fine knows only one way out: suicide . She takes pills and cuts her wrists. Her mother gets home just in time to save her.
Fine makes peace with himself. She approaches Kaspar and agrees to completely let herself into her role. She also tries to re-establish contact with Joachim. But even though he promises to meet her, he has long since moved out at the appointed time when she enters his apartment. Still, Fine finds enough strength to be on stage at the premiere of Camille .
criticism
“Drama in a theater environment that thrives on an impressive ensemble, especially the outstanding leading actress, and a coherent, atmospheric visual language. The plot, on the other hand, is less original, and the effort to explain the main character psychologically leaves a lot of tension evaporating. "
“This self-discovery process was unfortunately implemented quite erratically by young director Christian Schwochow - his second directorial work after ' Novemberkind ' - with poorly cinematic pictures. Despite good actors (especially Stine Fischer Christensen as Fine), many exaggerated moments in this psychodrama like clichés get on the nerves of the audience in the long run. "
“The film is very well told and assembled, coherently without any breaks, except for the somewhat romanticizing positive change in the disabled sister at the end, staged with a strong and clear handwriting by director and co-author Christian Schwochow. A fascinating and exciting psychological study of the maturation process from a dubious drama student to an adult artist: Fine is no longer invisible. "
"The Invisible" actually tells a Cinderella story. [...] An abysmal pas-de-deux develops between Friedmann and Fine according to the Black Swan scenario. Seduction and manipulation versus self-exposure to the limits of self-destruction. Wonderful, like Noethen den Direction tyrants are fascinated by the way he flashes the Mephisto and mixes the genius demeanor of self-pity and cynical provocation The story sometimes slips into the bold - in a film that lives from such dramatic intensities, that doesn't matter. "
