Review of The Intouchables (2011) by Dylan D — 01 Dec 2013
In The Intouchables, it's what's on the inside that counts. It's a genuinely touching and heartfelt film because it's so joyful and simple. This isn't hard, life-lesson cinema but rather a pleasant, inward look at how living isn't just about outward abilities.
It's also about deep bonds and experiencing even the little pleasures life has to offer, of escaping a routine and learning that there's more to living than just the mere act of getting by or remaining immobile not physically, but stubbornly by refusing new ways of doing things, new ways of living.
The picture is gently directed and remarkably acted; precious few actors find more natural chemistry than do François Cluzet and Omar Sy. It's a perfect movie -- funny, touching, easy to watch -- that transcends barriers and speaks a universal language of happiness, inner growth, and personal and interpersonal satisfaction.
