Les Intouchables 2011
M, contains drug use & offensive language - 112 mins, France
French with English subtitles
Award-winning, feel-good French drama about the friendship that develops between an aristocrat - a quadriplegic after a recent paragliding accident - and a man from the projects hired to be his caretaker. Based on a true story.

We will be taking a break in July as the French Film Festival Aotearoa will take place from 24 June - 7 July.
For once, the hype is justified. This is a charming, uplifting French drama – an irreverent, humorous take on disability, closely drawn from real-life." - The Guardian
