"The Intouchables," is a French film that was released in 2011. The
writers/directors were Olivier Nakache and Eric Toledano. They did a
fantastic job. The performances of all of the characters in this film
were authentic and believable. The directors were on the ball.
The settings and the cinematography was stellar. The production crew,
costume, makeup, sound, lighting.... the whole shebang was spot on. The
script was elegant and gutsy and delightfully intriguing. And the
humor, well, was wickedly funny.
The two unlikely characters that wound up developing a relationship
with each other, go through a wide range of experiences and emotions.
The way they convey what they are thinking and feeling is done with such
subtlety that all I have to say is... well done, really... well done.
Its raw and its real. This is a story about empowerment and liberation
that goes straight to the heart with a few detours along the way.
The stars, Francois Cluzet and Omar Sy drew me into who they were. And
soon after their relationship began to evolve, I became so engaged with
these characters and their story that I couldn't take my eyes away from
them. I didn't want to miss a thing. They each gave incredible
performances. Had either one been a cliche the whole movie would have
crumbled and become insignificant. Omar was brilliant. Absolutely
brilliant. The range Francois Cluzet and Omary Sy shared with us was
remarkable.
I always appreciate a good story. A story that is complex with
relationships that lift me out of my own life and carry me away into a
world of their own.
I don't want to share any specifics because the unwrapping of this gift
is too delightful. I liked experiencing it without any expectations. I
didn't even read the description of it before watching it. I just
liked the title. "The Intouchables," I highly recommend this film.
I saw it on NETFLIX.
