The Intouchables
“The Intouchables tells the true story of a wealthy, physically disabled risk taker, the picture of established French nobility, who lost his wife in an accident and whose world is turned upside down when he hires a young, good-humored, black Muslim ex-con as his caretaker. Their bond proves the power and omniscience that love and friendship can hold over all social and economic differences.” - Fandango.com
The Intouchables also tells the story of a Driving Miss Daisy rehash, where a personal assistant servant infuses his previously barren employer’s home with energy, emotion and raw African boogie-boogie spirit. Truly proving that even human and sub-human can learn to love each other, despite all that “vestiges of slavery and colonialism” stuff.
I await the flood of awards aimed at Mr. Omar Sy for his masterful performance. Morgan Freeman is somewhere in his post-racial world smiling.
