With their documentary INVISIBLE GIRLFRIEND, filmmakers David Redmon and Ashley Sabin have sensitively captured the strange existence of Charles Fihiol, a man who would be unbelievable if glimpsed in a fiction film. To see his girlfriend, Charles embarks on a curse-filled, 400-mile trip on his bike that takes him from Monroe to New Orleans. But Charlie’s girlfriend--Joan of Arc--is invisible, and his journey bears a striking resemblance to THE WIZARD OF OZ when he encounters a witch and a tin man. [More]

[DVD Details]
 
 
  • Charles is in love with his invisible girlfirend, Joan of Arc, so he decides to ride his big red bicycle from Monroe through rural Louisiana to find her in a New Orleans bar. Along the way, he encounters a farmer, a witch, a tin man, FDR's delapidated boat, and a man who honors the dead. Working within the tradition of creative nonfiction, the Boston Globe compares Invisible Girlfriend to "the intersection of Flannery O'Conner Avenue and Werner Herzog Boulevard." Ultimately, it is a Southern story that transcends literal interpretations of images in order to open up rich, loamy textures of humor and drama. The cinematography is startling in its intensity and violent beauty, representing an optical trope that offsets the desperate love that Charles sets off on his journey to find.
