Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This is a shot-for-shot remake of the 2011 French film 'The Intouchables,' which made $426 million worldwide and France submitted it for the Oscar that year.
The real-life Philippe Pozzo di Borgo publicly criticized this version for softening his actual relationship with caregiver Abdel Sellou—who was Algerian, not African American, and their bond was far messier and more political.
