A scientist makes extraordinary technological discoveries, only to go mad as he craves omnipotence. A familiar premise in the science fiction genre, except this time the man in question is played by Kevin Bacon, whose talent shines through even when he turns into an invisible man. It’s the 2000 Prix du Public UBS: Hollow Man, which promises a journey to a world filled with special effects but also capable, through its characters, of raising important philosophical questions.
