Intouchables is a 2011 French dramedy film, directed by Olivier Nakache and Éric Toledano. It depicts one very unorthodox patient/caregiver relationship, and is Based on a True Story.Meet Driss (Omar Sy) —young, obnoxious, shamelessly living on welfare and freshly back on the street after six months spent... elsewhere. With little ambition and even fewer employment prospects, he crashes a job interview for the position of stay-at-home nurse for a wealthy tetraplegic aristocrat, simply wanting them to acknowledge his attendance and rejection so he can remain on benefits.But when Philippe (François Cluzet), the tetraplegic in question, takes a shine to Driss' blunt and pitiless demeanour in front of him and his bedside manners that would make Gregory House proud, he decides to hire Driss on trial, betting that "he won't last two weeks". Hilarity Ensues.The film ended up the second most successful film ever at the French box office. The Weinstein Company distributed it in the US, with less than memorable resultsnote Less than 19000 spectators, vs. over 19 million in Europe, but that didn't prevent the film from getting an americanized remake. Titled The Upside, the remake came out in 2019, starring Bryan Cranston and Kevin Hart in the lead roles, which had reverse popularity - commercial success in the US and a bomb everywhere else.Not to be confused with The Untouchables. | |

| Intouchables / int_312b02ac | comment |
Lipstick Lesbian: Magalie is a very feminine secretary and personal assistant to Philippe. She's always elegant, well-groomed and highly sophisticated in general - but much to Driss' shock, turns out to be a lesbian. Something that everyone knew, but deliberately kept him in the dark as a joke on his constant advances toward Magalie. | |

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Played with. Driss can put Gregory House to shame with his rude behaviour. On the other hand, he is a genuinely caring and charming person, whose sense of humour carries the whole film, and who takes a great deal of time and effort making people around him feel better. By any means necessary. | |

Purple Prose: Philippe shows hints of this when dictating a poem to the woman he corresponds with. He is obviously a cultured man, but a great poet he is not - the poem is made of a lot of boring comparisons and little else. | |

True Art Is Incomprehensible | |
| Intouchables / int_6c81c95 | comment |
True Art Is Incomprehensible: Discussed. Driss doesn't really understand modern art, to the point where he heavily mocks it; then he tries his hand at abstract painting. He starts with the intent of making a mockery out of it, but the painting itself turns out quite profitable when Philippe sells it as the work of an "up-and-coming artist" - to mess with the snobby, snooty people he buys art from. | |

Noble Demon/Ethical Slut: Driss. He's a small-time crook that was just released after serving six months, perfectly capable of playing up Scary Black Man archetype, openly smokes weed and hires hookers for erotic massage... but he's at the same time the heart of the film, who, despite his blunt demeanour, is the most caring and compassionate person around and someone Philippe can rely on no matter what. | |

Establishing Character Moment: You know what kind of person Driss is just by his rather rude behaviour in the recruitment scene. Even earlier, in the first scene of the movie; Upon being pulled over for speeding, Driss deftly outwits the policemen by claiming that Philippe needs to get to the hospital, and Philippe even starts to convulse and foam at the mouth to prove it. Driss had earlier bet to Philippe that he could get a police escort to the hospital and he does, and they drive victoriously along, all set to Earth, Wind & Fire's "September." | |

Worst Aid | |
| Intouchables / int_de306ba6 | comment |
Worst Aid: When Driss learns that Phillipe's daughter has attempted to commit suicide via Immodium, he jokes that next, she'll overdose on Tylenol. In actuality, Tylenol is very easy to overdose on. Twice the prescribed dosage can easily create irreversible liver damage in many people. Downing a larger amount can doom you to a slow and painful death, even if you seek medical aid immediately. | |

Innocent Bigot: Driss is both obnoxious and very blunt when handling the issue of Philippe's condition. Which is in no small part why Philippe hires him. | |

Feet-First Introduction | |
| Intouchables / int_e73f6217 | comment |
Feet-First Introduction: When the camera pans over the men waiting for the job interview, it goes for their shoes. All highly polished, combined with ironed trousers... and then it reaches a pair of worn trainers, after which Driss is shown in establishing shot. With this simple trick audience knows how much he doesn't fit there. | |

Jerkass: The nurse that replaces Driss qualifies, as well as Philippe's neighbors, who use Philippe's entry as their particular parking place despite parking being forbidden there. | |

Fee Fi Faux Pas | |
| Intouchables / int_ecfbba60 | comment |
Fee Fi Faux Pas: Driss, when leaving the interview, mentions that Philippe doesn't have to get up. He notices his faux par immediately. | |

| Intouchables / int_f10d3363 | comment |
Distracted by the Sexy: Driss points the fork at Philippe's cheek instead of his mouth when being distracted by Magalie walking by. | |

Terrible Interviewees Montage | |
| Intouchables / int_f75cf3bd | comment |
Terrible Interviewees Montage: From the viewpoint of Philippe. All the applicants we see in the beginning are not edgy enough, until Driss shows up. | |

The Power of Friendship | |
| Intouchables / int_faece9aa | comment |
The Power of Friendship: While Philippe (obviously) remains a tetraplegic, his friendship with Driss gives him the will to have a less reclusive and more uplifting life. | |

Brick Joke: After a lot of talk about ears being erogenous we see the interviewer of the delivery company reaching for hers when Driss' comments amuse her. | |

Dark and Troubled Past | |
| Intouchables / int_fed93e1b | comment |
Dark and Troubled Past: Both Driss and Philippe. Philippe developped a lot of self loathing after his accident and the lost of his wife while Driss is an ex convict from the suburb with a really difficult relationship with his cousins and aunt. | |

Pet the Dog | |
| Intouchables / int_ff7f34c5 | comment |
Pet the Dog: When Driss has to take Philippe for a ride he refuses to put him in the handicapped friendly car and instead make the extra effort to put him in the Jaguar. It's one of the first nice thing Driss do for Philippe who mostly wanted a merciless caretaker. | |
