The Intouchables


(French, English subtitles)

A wealthy man, made quadriplegic following a sky diving accident, engages an untrained African immigrant as his carer with surprising results.

The opening credits state that 'The Intouchables' is based on a true story and the real characters portrayed in the film are revealed at the end. It is a delightful film filled with humour. Both the carer and the cared-for confront their demons as they search for dignity and love to fill their lives. They are different as can be, yet each man will have impact on the other in unforeseen ways.

Recommended.

  1. The movie concept sounds interesting, but I expect similar has been done before.
