I’m wondering if the engraving company has started working on the Oscar statuette plaque for this one?

The Intouchables

Plot Summary: A white invalid takes on a poor, impatient black caregiver to help push him to his limits and provide the kind of companionship a more modest and submissive nurse wouldn’t be able to provide.
Release Date: May 25, 2012

Poster

Trailer

Rating: C
Commentary: For an emotional piece, going too bold would have seemed crass, but here they’ve gone so vanilla that it looks like a negligible film.
Rating: A-
Commentary: It just seems so blatantly manipulative that I’m surprised it also seems so charming. Much of that success is thanks to its charismatic leads, who make the relationship look strong in such a small set of clips.
Preview Link: CLICK HERE for link to the trailer, more posters (if available) and other commentary not featured here.
Oscar Chances: I had thought another film would end up as France’s submission to the Oscars, but now that I’ve seen this trailer, I have no doubt this will be their entry and I think it could very well be the winner.
