'Untouchable' in Kilcullen tonight is 'unmissable'

A film showing in Kilcullen Town Hall tonight chronicles the friendship that develops between a wealthy quadriplegic, Philippe, and his carer, Driss, an ex-convict.

In France, the film won the César Award for Best Actor for Omar Sy, and garnered seven further nominations for the César Awards, including the César Award for Best Film.
