Heart-warming

Rating: 9/10 (10 September 2013)

Philippe and Driss's story is based on the friendship between Philippe Pozzo di Borgo and Abdel Sellou, proving that even two people from opposite backgrounds and life styles can create a heart-warming friendship. The film is excellent: touching and funny (even hilarious at times). Ludovico Einaudi did a great job on the soundtrack, it fits perfectly. The acting is superb, very natural. François Cluzet and Omar Sy have great chemistry together. After watching Intouchables, I just couldn't stop smiling.
I can't believe Intouchables wasn't even nominated for an Oscar. It definitely should have been on the nominated list. It's one of the best films I've seen so far. A film with a great message: to be together is better than to be alone.
