This is an obsessive world of a musician. It is claustrophobic and he is completely withdrawn from everything around him, except for the sounds, noises and murmurs. One day, his whole world turns upside down with a woman, who turns out to be another obsession. After all, when one starts to obsess, anything can be forced to the extreme.

He is Bruno. All his world is shaped by the sounds around him. He spends all his time with listening and recording, and then turning it all into an experimental piece of music. He also has an electronic music project with a friend, Noël; a project which is about to become labeled. While he is all surrounded by this closed world, he opens up a new passage to another world, symbolized, physically, by a woman named Lisa. She is intriguing, for she has this voice Bruno falls in love with, and she is by all means enigmatic, for the few actual encounters they have is in a hotel room, completely in the dark, making love hours upon hours, without ever seeing each other. All of a sudden, as odd as the beginning, she vanishes. And a search begins, within a delusional mixture of physical world and the noises surrounding it.

Les invisibles, by Thierry Jousse, is an impressive experimental movie, perhaps as experimental as the Bruno's work itself. It lacks a detailed insight to the character, but this is how Bruno wants to be perceived and how he perceives the world himself, thus, it would be a false expectation to get more into him, as he is withdrawn so far. The sub-plots, such as the recording sessions seem a little weak and the connections are quite loose, however, the level of the obsession surpasses them all.

All in all, it is a quite stimulating 85 minutes, and Laurent Lucas is very convincing as the numb faced Bruno who seems a bit dull from outside, however, is as complex as the mixture of noises he collects, from inside.
