Intouchables




Just watched this french film online, The Intouchables.

The Intouchables (2011)
After he becomes a quadriplegic from a paragliding accident, an aristocrat (Philippe) hires a young man from the projects (Driss) to be his caretaker. (IMDB)

Based on Wikipedia, this film was the most-watched film in France in 2011 and more than 19 million people had seen the film in France, and the film had become the third most-watched foreign film ever.

Their friendship and unspeakable bond between the both of them is amazing and the things that Driss does for him is so touching, from the small things like helping him shave and put on his compression stockings to helping him find the second love of his life at the end of the story.  The way the movie is shot and cinematography is simply beautiful and elegant.

I super love it, highly recommend to watch this film!!!
