Vincent - France

When I saw this picture I thought it wasn't that enticing a movie shot. Seeing the movie it goes with it's unique rhythm. The French superhero's powers revolve around water and with the flow there is a calmness and tranquility. There is little dialogue as the director said that he feels that besides getting the audience to like and relate to Vincent he didn't like a movie that spells everything out. There was a lot of calm and beautiful scenery and then a fun and quirky girlfriend which brings this out in him. His super power is superhuman strength which happens when he is in water or wet. When it is discovered, because he stopped a violent fight, the police chase him and then it is fun to see his super powers by outrunning the police. He has to leave town again because he is discovered, but this time his cute girlfriend has said she will come once he has settled somewhere new. I'm chatty about this film because the director was also the star. He was a charming Frenchman and talked with a lot of enthusiasm. Someone asked why he directed and starred in the role. He said it was because he would never want to critique someone else's acting work.

Parisian director Thomas Salvador.
