It's the little things that count

Rating: 8/10 (19 April 2016)

The best thing about this film is how it celebrates the smaller things in life. It emphasises that money doesn't always buy happiness. Whilst it can bring you material profit, it can leave you spiritually deprived. There is something very touching in how Philippe finds more joy in sharing a joint with Driss than going to art galleries or the Opera.
Even though Driss and Philippe are polar opposites of each other, this is why they work so well together. Philippe wants a carer like Driss due to how laidback and lazy he is. Philippe is sick of being pampered to and pedestalised. He wants a carer who will accept him for who he is.
