Olivier Nakache and Eric Toledano's comedy Intouchables a.k.a The Intouchables will be France's official entry at next year's foreign language Oscars. The decision was made earlier today by a committee overseen by the country's National Cinema Centre (CNC).
The Intouchables stars François Cluzet (Tell No One, Little White Lies), Omar Sy (Micmacs), and Anne Le Ny (The Taste of Others). It is produced by Yann Zenou, Laurent Zeitoun and Nicolas Duval-Adassovsky (the team behind Heartbreaker).
Last week, Unifrance, an organization promoting French Cinema throughout the world, announced that The Intouchables had overtaken Jean-Pierre Jeunet's Amelie at the international box office as the most viewed French-language film in history.
In the U.S., The Intouchables is distributed by The Weinstein Company.
In France, the film is already out on Blu-ray courtesy of local distributors TF1 Video. (See our listing here).
