The Intouchables (Intouchables) the highest grossing French film in history. I saw it at the cinema a few years ago and I’m stimulated to post on it because I’ve recently seen it on TV.

Part Hollywood with a light touch of Moliere farce it’s the politically incorrect story of a wealthy upper class Parisian cripple and his criminal black carer. Allegedly based on a true story.

Part of its charm is that the carer has no pity for his client – whereas many others see only his disability.

The great French actor François Cluzet stars along side the most beautiful movable object in the modern world – the Maseratti Quantropado – and the music of Nina Simone.

Its sentimental but humorous in a stark way.

Nearly 1800 Amazon reviewers have given it 91% five star. I'm worried to be in a majority.

Like you I saw it in the cinema originally, but recorded it last night to watch when I have time. Highly recommended. A bit of Nina Simone is always a plus.
