One of the best french flicks I've seen to this day

Rating: 10/10 (14 October 2013)

In one word: amazing!!!
Don't let yourself feel biased by the quadriplegic background: this is truly an honest and compelling movie. It's in fact a story about the casual meetings in our lives and the friendships that change them forever.
Driss is the typical ghetto wiz, smart but not enough to stay out of trouble and be on the right track with his life. Phillippe is a french aristocrat, bounded not only by his physical condition but also by the lifestyle that he's chosen for himself. When these two meet they're instantly attracted by each others personalities.
Driss has this cool way of breeze through life's adversities, while Phillipe, although really tight about his feelings, needs help even to write a love letter. When Driss bursts into his life, not only he starts to open up but also frees himself from his own fears, which in my humble opinion limits him more than his illness. As collateral damage, Driss also changes the whole attitude of the other caretakers and employees that work on Phillipe's mansion.
The jokes and gags are funny without being Farrelly-like, and help to ease the burden of telling a history of a man that needs help to do basically everything, which could be very boring (as it must be to quadriplegics in real life). But the movie is so awesome that halfway through it you start to forget about Phillipe not being able to do anything by himself and start to focus on the intricate relationship of this two superb guys.
This is a must see as words can't described what you'll feel when you watch it.
