The first time I watched Intouchables was back in high school. We had to watch the film in English in order to improve our listening skills. Since then, I have watched this movie a few times and it has become one of my favorite films ever. Intouchables is a heartfelt story about friendship.The film is loosely based on the true story of Abdel Sallou's friendship with a paralysed millionaire Phillipe. In the film, Phillipe hires a young man from the projects named Driss to take care of him and they both develop an unlikely friendship. The story is very interesting and shows that two people from different races can confront their obstacles in life. The main leads, Francois Cluzet and Omar Sy, are fantastic and share great chemistry together. It also has great moments of humour that brought a smile to my face. I love how the relationship between Driss and Phillipe develops from two people arguing against each other to becoming true friends. Some movies can work with a good story but they need good performances; in Untouchables, it's almost impossible to determine who carried the film, both Cluzet and Sy were great. The soundtrack of the film is also brilliant and adds to the emotional scenes in the film. Great movie, it's a must-watch 🙂
