The Intouchables (2011)
The Intouchables (French: Intouchables), also known as Untouchable in the UK, Ireland and Scandinavia and as 1+1 in Eastern Europe, is a 2011 French buddy comedy-drama film written and directed by Éric Toledano and Olivier Nakache. The plot is inspired by the true story of Philippe Pozzo di Borgo and his French-Algerian carer Abdel Sellou, which the directors discovered in the documentary À la vie, à la mort. Philippe, a wealthy Parisian aristocrat left quadriplegic by an accident, hires the unlikely Driss, a young man from the suburbs, as his carer. The film opens at night in Paris, with Driss driving Philippe's Maserati Quattroporte at high speed; when the police corner them, Driss claims Philippe must get to a hospital urgently, Philippe pretends to have a seizure, and the fooled officers escort them there. François Cluzet plays Philippe and Omar Sy plays Driss, with Audrey Fleurot and Anne Le Ny in supporting roles. The film was released in France on 2 November 2011 and was voted the cultural event of the year in a Fnac poll. Sy won the César Award for Best Actor, and the film garnered seven further César nominations, including Best Actor for Cluzet. Five percent of its profits were donated to Simon de Cyrène, an association that helps paralyzed people.
