Vincent n'a pas d'écailles (2014)

Also Known As: Vincent
Year of first release: 2014
Director: Thomas Salvador
Actors: Thomas Salvador, Vimala Pons
Country: F
Genre: SF
Conditions of visioning: 23.09.2014, Antiguo Berri, FSSDZ2014, French with Spanish/English subtitles
Synopsis: Vincent (Salvador) hides in a small town in the Provence. He finds a job. But he feels good only in the water, the lakes and rivers of the region. His strength, reflexes and agility increase when in contact with water. There he meets Lucie (Pons), falls in love and shares his secret with someone for the first time.
Review: This superheroe story is original as the guy is a normal guy and tries to hide from the society. He manages to hide it well except when he is upset. The only scenes being too much and avoiding the development of the story is the long pursuit of Vincent by the police. The SFX are great especially in these superfluous scenes. The scenery in the Provence are wonderful. There is almost no dialogue, so that the love story looses in credibility, the atmospheres are not complete and some parts are frustrating as well as the story demanded for diaogues. This was very annoying to me.
Rating: 4 /10
