The Story follows the daily struggle of a French millionaire,
Phillippe, who is paralysed from the neck down. Looking for a change Philippe
hires a Senegalese man, Driss, from the rough areas of Paris who is out on parole
as his carer. As the movie progresses the no-nonsense, no pity Driss sparks
excitement back into Philippe’s life.
Although one of its main characters is a paraplegic the
movie is filled with edge of your seat scenes starting dramatically with a car
chase through the streets of Paris, and filled entirely throughout with clever
wit and humour. The storyline is intriguing as it shows the deep relationship
of a classy, ‘proper’ yet laid back millionaire with a straightforward criminal
from the streets, as they are brought together over common issues such as
relationships and love.
The film is created spectacularly with acting to match, the
fact it is subtitle was an annoyance at first but slowly adds to French
setting.
Rating: 8.5/10
