Synopsis
Phantom Boy (2015) is a French-Belgian animated film you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Alain Gagnol and Jean-Loup Felicioli, the duo behind A Cat in Paris. Leo is a boy confined to a hospital bed who has discovered something strange: he can leave his body and drift through walls, invisible to everyone around him.
In the next ward lies Alex, a police officer laid up after an injury. Together with a journalist named Mary — voiced in the French original by Audrey Tautou — they recruit Leo as their eyes inside a city being terrorized by a disfigured crime boss. The film has the texture of a late-night jazz record: hand-drawn, unhurried, a little melancholy. It works for kids on the surface and for adults underneath. Stream Phantom Boy online on iFILM.
