"The Intouchables" is Touching.

Rating: 10/10 (12 September 2013)

The French film, "The Intouchables" is a very moving story based on true to life characters. It is directed by Olivier Nakache and Eric Toledano. And it is written by Olivier Nakache and Eric Toledano as well. The story involves a wealthy quadriplegic man who is aided by a black man of little means. The plot quickly evolves and is checkered with bits of comic relief as in many of Shakespeare's plays. There are moments of tearfulness as well as outright laughter interspersed in such a way as to make this a very satisfying experience. I can highly recommend this French film with subtitles for it's humanity that is quite evident from beginning to end. In addition the sound track of cars racing down the road give one's sound system a vigorous workout.
