Untouchable (2011)
Written and directed
by the duo of Olivier Nakache and Eric Toledano this film stars
Fancois Cluzet, Omar Sy and Audery Fleurot. In France a young black
immigrant who gets a job as a carer for a rich old white man.
The plot for this film
does not really pull any surprises and while there seems to be a lot
of talk about how race is handled in this film (for better or worse)
in my opinion class difference is the bigger issue than race here.
What the script has going for it is plenty of personality and manages
to bring in tones of humour without taking the easy shots of basing
the humour around one of the characters disability. Over all this is
a well made film that handles a pretty tricky subject fairly well
even if it does not have a huge amount of originality.
4/5
