Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, Cesar award for Best Actor (defeating Jean Dujardin, nominated for The Artist) and voted best film at the Tokyo International Film Festival, this record breaking film provides genuine laughs and a moving narrative. An irreverent, uplifting comedy about friendship, trust and human possibility, The Intouchables has broken box office records in its native France and across Europe. Based on a true story of friendship between a handicap millionaire (Francois Cluzet) and his street smart ex-con caretaker (Omar Sy), The Intouchables depicts an unlikely camaraderie rooted in honesty and humour between two individuals who, on the surface, would seem to have nothing in common.
