Untouchable
Following on from their hugely successful release of The Artist, Entertainment Film Distributors are proud to announce the sensational box office phenomenon Untouchable, which hits screens in the Capital on the 21 September and nationwide on 28 September.
Based on a true story, Untouchable has already broken records worldwide, so far out grossing blockbusters such as Harry Potter, Titanic, Marvel’s The Avengers and Avatar in certain territories. It is topping charts all over the globe and has made a staggering $356million to date.
The film tells the story of an unlikely friendship between a disabled millionaire (François Cluzet) and his street smart ex-con caretaker (Omar Sy). The pair who, on the surface, seem to have nothing in common find a camaraderie rooted in honesty and humour in one of the must-see films of 2012.
Directed by Eric Toledano and Olivier Nakache and also starring Audrey Fleurot (‘Spiral’), the film was nominated for a total of nine 2012 César Awards, France’s equivalent to the Oscars, including Best Picture, and won Best Actor for breakout star Omar Sy.
The film also won the Grand Prix award at the 2011 Tokyo International Film Festival. Untouchable has received Audience Awards from U.S film festivals including San Francisco Film Festival, Col Coa and the Nashville Film Festival.
Untouchable will be released by Entertainment Film Distributors in cinemas in London on 21 September followed by a nationwide release on 28 September 2012.
