Trailer: The Intouchables

This French drama about a paralyzed man and his caretaker looks to be one of the feel-good films of the...oh, hell, I can't even make fun of it because I can tell I'm going to cry while watching it.

Francois Cluzet gave a wonderful performance in Tell No One, a ridiculously excellent thriller from 2006 that I was enthralled by when I caught it on Netflix a while back. I haven't seen him in much since, but that's likely just because I'm not as up on my French cinema as I should be; regardless, he'll be back in American theaters soon with the much-lauded The Intouchables, a look at a life of paralysis and the boundaries that are broken down when we allow someone into our life who we don't have much in common with, etc., etc. Yeah, it looks like My Left Foot smashed up against Finding Forrester, but that doesn't mean that it doesn't also look pretty damn good, as well.

I'll definitely be first in line to check it out when it hits American shores. Have any of you Euros seen it? Worth the effort?

It's a great movie, highly recommend it. In France, this movie was an unexpected success and for good reason
