Product Information
Affluent paraplegic Philippe (Francois Cluzet) develops an unexpectedly close bond with his gruff aide, Driss (Omar Sy), in this affecting comedy drama inspired by a true story. Directors Olivier Nakache and Eric Toledano discovered the story after seeing a documentary called A LA VIE, A LA MORT about Philippe Pozzo di Borgo and his carer Abdel Sellou.
Driss (Omar Sy), a Senegalese man living in a Paris slum, applies for a job as caretaker to a wealthy quadriplegic, but all he wants is to get his paper stamped so he can get benefits. Despite his lack of qualifications, he lands the job because of his attitude: Philippe (François Cluzet), the quadriplegic, wants a caretaker who will look at him without pity. As Driss reluctantly learns to move, feed, and clean Philippe, the two men discover a blunt but vital humour that not only bridges the cultural and class divide between them, but gives Philippe a renewed joy in life. Its easy to see what made Untouchable such a massive success in France; the movie has the sweet sincerity and uplifting conclusion that make for a classic feel-good experience. The chemistry between the two leads is undeniable, and Sy--who won the French equivalent of the Oscar for his role--is a dynamic and charismatic performer, while Cluzets understated performance conveys Philippes frustrations. The movie doesnt dig too deeply into the struggles of life as a quadriplegic or the struggles of life among the inner-city poor, so when Untouchable ends its not likely to leave a lasting impression, but that doesnt get in the way of its immediate charm and warmth.
