Overview

Paul, is an ordinary man who divides his life between his shipbuilding company, his wife Elise and their daughter Mia. During a sea trip, Paul finds himself confronted with a strange, unexplained meteorological phenomenon. From then on, Paul shrinks inexorably, without science being able to explain why or be of any help to him. When, by accident, he finds himself a prisoner in his own cellar, and while he is only a few centimeters tall, he will have to fight to survive in this banal environment that has become perilous. During this experience, Paul will find himself confronted with himself, with his humanity, and will try to answer the great questions of existence.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

This is the second adaptation of Richard Matheson's 1956 novel; the first became the 1957 classic 'The Incredible Shrinking Man.' Kounen explicitly wanted to strip away the Americana and lean into European philosophical gloom.

Discussion

Reactions from the web

I wish it could stay more faithful to the source novel by Richard Matheson, which was just awesome. If you haven't read it, check it out. The 1957 film version was great too, but it skipped over a lot of events featured in the book.

I never knew there was a remake

@JordyJayHomer

Ever since reading Indian in the Cupboard and Mouse and the Motorcycle as a child, I have always been obsessed with small things living in a doll house or adventures they would have. Which also reminds me of the cartoon The Littles that I also watched as a child. Not sure what that says about me, but if there are any movies or books that are similar to that subject, please let me know.
