The Intouchables at The Old Picture House

A event on Saturday 4th May. The event starts at 19:30.


"Intouchables" is a French comedy-drama film directed by Olivier Nakache and Éric Toledano. The story revolves around the unlikely friendship between Philippe, a wealthy quadriplegic, and Driss, a young man from the Parisian suburbs who becomes his caregiver. Driss, who has a criminal record and is struggling financially, applies for the job purely to meet the requirements of receiving welfare benefits. However, despite their differences in background and personality, Philippe is impressed by Driss' candidness and hires him.

As Driss begins to work for Philippe, their relationship evolves into a deep and touching friendship. Driss brings energy and a fresh perspective into Philippe's life, introducing him to new experiences and helping him regain a sense of joy and adventure. Meanwhile, Philippe provides Driss with stability, support, and guidance, helping him navigate his personal challenges and discover his own potential.

The film explores themes of friendship, empathy, and the transformative power of human connection. It is inspired by the true story of Philippe Pozzo di Borgo and his caregiver Abdel Sellou. "Intouchables" was a critical and commercial success, becoming one of the highest-grossing French films of all time and receiving numerous awards and nominations.

Please note our bar only accepts cash.

The film is subtitled.
