The Intouchables

See these two men?  They will make you glad you sat down in a cool theatre to watch them.  And, after all, as our temps. in Phoenix soar to 115* this week (pray for us), why would you need any incentive to go to the movies, hmmm?

This is a wonderful, wonderful French film.  Just overlook the lame title. Based on a true story, one of these men is an aristocratic quadriplegic, one is an urban soul going nowhere.  Guess which is which.  From there, all cliche and predictability end.  Masterful performances tell a story we should all hear.

I enjoyed every minute of this film.  Go see it and we'll talk more.


P.S. The fact that it takes place in Paris, including two scenes in the very cafe in which hubby and I recently had breakfast, leaves me positively giggling, but in no way influences my endorsement.  -smile-

  1. Hi Valerie: This one sounds good. It takes place in my favorite city? At a restaurant where you sat? This could be fun! The title is indeed a bit weird, but "intouchable" in French means "untouchable," and if the title were The Untouchables, we'd expect a gangster film! Looking forward to seeing this one.
