Invisible Dragons

About This Movie

Invisible Dragons is this odd little gem set against the backdrop of rural New Zealand. It juxtaposes the absurd with the deeply personal, as Ayala’s confrontation with her father Stephen unfolds in this dilapidated fortress of conspiracy. The film's tone straddles the line between comedy and drama, capturing the absurdity of delusion while also conveying real emotional weight. Performances are quite raw, especially from the leads, and there's a certain charm in its rough edges. You can't help but get drawn into the strange atmosphere created by its practical effects that highlight Stephen's bizarre lizard persona. It’s distinctive, not just for its quirky premise but for its exploration of family dynamics through a lens of surrealism.

Invisible Dragons is not widely known, which adds to its allure for collectors. Released in limited formats, its scarcity has only grown over the years, making it a fascinating topic of discussion among enthusiasts. The quirky themes and unique atmosphere have sparked a small but dedicated following, leading to interest in rare screenings and discussions in collector circles.
