The Intouchables

Great film!
Based on the true story of a miraculous and life transforming friendship between quadriplegic French millionaire Philippe Pozzo di Borgo, from a long line of French nobility and his poor, wild and dispossessed care taker, a Senegalese man with a contagious lust for life.
The cast is fabulous and as usual unknown to the North American audience. We laughed hard as the characters dive into a series of small adventures and take risks in order to live their life as best they can.
A hopeful affirmation about the nature of people: we are who we are. Circumstances can either reinforce or challenge us, or destroy us, and the choice is in our hands.
