However, it is another feature film, a much more recent one, that can boast Spielberg’s mention of the best French film, which is indeed number ten on his list.

This is Intouchables, directed by Eric Toledano and Olivier Nakache in 2011, the third biggest hit of all time at the French box office.

Directed by Francois Clouzet and Omar Sy, inspired by a true story, it follows the friendship of Philippe, a wealthy aristocrat paralyzed after an accident with paraplegia, and Driss, a young man from the suburbs who has just been released from prison.

Exciting disco sounds are worth noting Earth, wind and fire With Driss setting the dance floor on fire, with an AlloCiné average audience score of 4,377, this clash between two worlds connects the anthology sequence, often funny, sometimes poignant, thanks to the talents of its two actors, who together deliver an unforgettable performance. .
