Why watch this film?
One of the biggest successes of French cinema, both with audiences and critics, 'Intouchables' is one of those inspiring stories. After all, by joining together despite their differences, the duo Philippe (François Cluzet) and Driss (Omar Sy) break down barriers, blur boundaries, and show how genuine relationships can be found anywhere. All of this, moreover, with the typical good humor of the duo Olivier Nakache and Éric Toledano (from the fun 'That's Life'), who know how to bring lightness even to the most complicated situations. Omar Sy and François Cluzet, meanwhile, bring powerful performances that complete the experience, and make the audience fascinated by the characters. It may be a formulaic movie and one that relativizes some important issues, as some critics insist on saying. However, it is possible to forget all of this and embark on the story of a friendship that inspires and makes us reflect.

From the same director
Samba
This is the third collaboration between actor Omar Sy and directors Olivier Nakache and Éric Toledano, following the huge international success of 'The Intouchables'. 'Samba' is, in the same vein, a comedy-drama with good intentions and a big heart, dealing with compassion for others, but ends up falling into melodrama and in some points even condescension. Once again, it is Sy's charisma that drives the movie, this time with Charlotte Gainsbourg ('Antichrist', 'Melancholia') as his effective double.
The Specials
From the same directors of 'Intouchables', Olivier Nakache and Éric Toledano, this French dramedy is of unmatched sensitivity. After all, 'Hors normes' tells the story of two men who work with people who are on the margins of French society. On one side, Bruno (Vincent Cassel), a lonely man responsible for an institution that takes care of young people with severe autism. On the other, Malik (Reda Kateb) recovers young people from vulnerable situations and, at the same time, puts them in contact with Bruno's "patients". It's an exchange. From there, we dive not only into the stories of these two men, but also into the daily life and small daily challenges of each of them - with a focus on the simple story of Joseph (Benjamin Lesieur). Yes, there is an excess of stories and a certain fatigue that arises from a plot that seems undecided. However, the good direction of Nakache and Toledano and the inspired performances make the feature film exciting.
Comedy

But mysteriously he leaves there with a strange power: discovering, with just a touch, people's true vocation.
