A sensationally crafted story on the challenges and joys of life that make up lifelong friendships. Intouchables is based on the touching true story of aristocratic Philippe and Driss- an African man from the French projects. Worlds apart and without any formidable reason to cross paths, a chance encounter at an open job interview to find a new full-time caretaker for Philippe has the two properly introduced. Confined together under the same roof in what begins as a standard master/servant agreement, we see this clinical, unattached relationship start to dissipate as each character slowly invests a little more of themselves into the friendship. Orchestrated by the raw, human flair that is signature to French Cinema, Intouchables showcases the comedy and tragedies of the human condition through magnificent acting. The balance of this screenplay is perfection. Just when you're on the verge of tears, a joke will hit you off guard which will transform those salty-sacks of sorrow into salty-gems of laughter.
Without a doubt, this was the best film I watch all of 2012. A must-see, indeed!
Happy Watching!
