This film is based on a true story. Philippe is a paraplegic, he damaged
his spine in a hang gliding accident and he is paralyzed from his neck
down. He is very wealthy and lives
in a very beautiful home with a housekeeper, secretary and other
employees. He needs an attendant
and Driss applies for the job only so he can be signed off as turned down so he can
get benefits for unemployment.
Driss is nothing like the other employees or the other applicants but
Philippe finds that encouraging and something he wants. Driss and Philippe become very close
and it changes both their lives for the better.
This is very good, acting, plot,
screenplay and the entire feel of the film. Driss does not let anything get in the way of speaking
his mind, doing everything the way he wants and using his demeanor to get his
point across. He does not feel sorry or have pity for Philippe and that makes this relationship really work. 4* (I really liked
this movie)
112 min, Comedy directed by
Olivier Nakache, Eric Toledano with Francois Cluzet, Omar Sy, Anne Le Ny,
Audrey Fleurot, Clotilde Mollet, Cyril Mendy.
Note: Blockbuster 4*, imdb 8.5 out of 10, 75%
critic 93% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
Special Note: I LOVE the car, it’s almost like
another character in this film. I
LOVE the sound of the engine, the speed and the looks. It’s a 2009 Maserati and it knows the
meaning of speed!! Two models were
used, in the opening scene with the night car chase, the 4 exhaust pipes indicate the
Quattroporte V. A newer model was
used in the other scenes with two oval pipes which indicates it’s a
GTS. The price range on the
Quattroporte V is $119,750 to $133,700.
