Just saw a marvelous little movie entitled "The Intouchables" at the Drexel Theater in Columbus. "The Intouchables" meaning "Untouchables" in its' native French is a story about a parapalegic milliionaire and his ex-con caregiver. This movie works because the two main actors put in very strong performances. The story, set in France and told in French with English subtitles, is about the unlikely friendship that developes between two people of different race, culture and economic means. Based on a true story, the film chronicles roughly 2 months of their lives together. It is very moving at times, and also features many moments of laughter and humor. For folks like me who enjoy a movie with great story, passion and grace without the "shoot 'em up" and "relentless special effects" of the current crop of losers, this film was like a breath of fresh air. Breathe in and enjoy the simplicity of "The Intouchables" playing briefly at the Drexel.
