SYNOPSIS/PLOT |
After a paragliding accident, Philippe, a rich aristocrat, is confined to his home. He employs Driss as home help. Driss is a young guy from the projects recently out of prison. In short, the person the least adapted for the job. Vivaldi and Earth, Wind and Fire, fine language and slang, suits and jogging outfits come together and a clash is inevitable. Two worlds collide and win each other over to give birth to a friendship as crazy, funny, and fierce as it is unexpected. A unique relationship that will make sparks fly and render Philippe and Driss untouchable. |
PRO REVIEWS |
----------------------------------------
The plot of the film is inspired by a true story discovered by the directors in a 2004 documentary film. As of 25 November 2011, after 4 weeks, "Intouchables" has already become the film the most seen in France in 2011 and the 1st in French box office history. On March 2012 The Intouchables became the highest-grossing movie in another language than English with 281 million US$. It broke the previous record set by the Japanese film Spirited Away (274,9 million). (From wikipedia) (FILMAFFINITY) ----------------------------------------
"'The King's Speech' meets 'Driving Miss Daisy' (...) This fourth feature by writer-directors Olivier Nakache and Eric Toledano will almost certainly provide the duo with their first taste of international recognition" (Neil Young: The Hollywood Reporter)
----------------------------------------
Though never known for their subtlety, French co-helmers/scripters Eric Toledano and Olivier Nakache have never delivered a film as offensive as 'Untouchable'" (Jay Weissberg: Variety)
