Bene Cumb It could easily have been a youth-related crime drama with the same ideas and elements - but without the invisibility twist. The latter provided no additional value, sometimes made perceptions more complex (e.g. invisibility vs. insensibility, under which conditions etc.) and lead to the fatal, but rather trivial and expected ending. Apart from Gustaf Skarsgård as the protagonist Niklas, I found the other frequent actors not catchy. If you would like to see a real masterpiece on related topic, I would recommend Ghost (1990) with Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore, and Whoopi Goldberg.

WakenPayne I saw the remake of this utter masterpiece and decided to take a look at this, I searched and searched, over and over. Never really getting anywhere because the closest I could get to watching it was a YouTube video without subtitles (FYI I don't speak Swedish, which is why a review of this hasn't been submitted earlier), I then was at the end of my rope (tried everything), finally I saw it (not a day went by without me thinking about seeing this).Gustaf Skarsgård's acting is one to be admired. My reasoning is that I saw him in Evil and this (2 completely different roles) and both of them very convincingly. But it's not like he was the only person that was convincing, Tuva Novotny was also very good as well... for a fact I haven't seen a cast this good since Harjunpää ja pahan pappi, that is saying a lot.The movie is actually one of the best foreign films that I have seen (Yes this includes the Bergman movies), it was a very entertaining and moving film from beginning to end (especially "end"). The characters are human in such a way that one minute you hate a character, then the next minute they're liked by the viewer... this also happens vise versa. The way they do it is incredible.For those whom have seen this and refuse to see the remake I will say something that will shock you with my ratings: Original: 10/10 Remake: 9/10 Yes guys - I think this is a superior movie - but I think the remake is also very good.

stefan-144 Swedish film generally remains in stating the obvious and sticking to the conventions of the time, but then there are those rare exceptions, reaching an unforeseen level. 'Invisible' is one of those few. A splendid achievement by the team Bergvall and Sandquist in their first full-length movie.A couple of years ago they got an Academy Awards nomination in the short film category, for 'Victor', also on the grave theme of death. 'Invisible' is based on a novel by the Swedish writer Mats Wahl, a mighty storyteller.This story is indeed mighty. A high school senior, bound by his mother's high expectations, is beaten up brutally, due to a misunderstanding, by a delinquent girl of his age, and left for dead. When he comes to school the next day, he finds that everybody ignores him, as if he had become invisible. Soon, he realizes that he really is.This slight ingredient of the paranormal, makes the story rise to a mythical magnitude, and the film makers, as well as the actors, manage to keep it there, to explore the grand perspectives suddenly appearing. Still, the very concrete psychological drama continues, and intensifies.It all amounts to one formidably gripping experience, not easily forgotten. There are, of course, clear links to 'Sixth Sense' and a number of other movies about the mysterious borderland between life and death, and the necessity for our lives to reach some kind of conclusion, some kind of harmony, before passing on.If searching for them, one can find some small weaknesses - like the unnecessary presence of a gun, or the inability of the dialogue to deal with those profound existential questions - but that's easily forgotten in the very touching and beautiful whole of the film, and more so after its uncompromising and magnificent ending.

Bejlof I got to see this film at a the absolute premier..so the directors where there too. They were nominated for an oscar for best short picture in 2001. Now they have made there first long film.The movie is mostly about a boy named Nicklas. He is a smart man who is just about to go out school. He is being held down by his mother who has her way of his future don. But nicklas wants to go his way..but it's like he's invesable(the name of the film is "the inveceble") but he's about to be totaly invecible. When he gets beat up by the school gangster, a girl, he becomes inviceble. He's stuck in a state between life and death. and he tries to find his body.This is a VERY good movie..I think it will be oscar nominated next year. The acting is exeptional. The way it's been built, the easy way of showing that he can't affect the world around him is great. If you are not swedish speaking and want to see a very goodmovie(that your friends probably never will see) down load or in some way see it. It's a great movie from start to finish.(if you've managed all my spelling so far, then you can take the time to see the film)
