Julie Smith Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Ahhhh. I thought we agreed that in a year or so I would get it from the library and let you know how it was. ... I'm glad you enjoyed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Here, it's not in the 'big chain' theaters, but is showing in the ones that run foreign & independent films.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stacia Posted August 5, 2012 Author Share Posted August 5, 2012 is this something that junior high kids could/should watch? Dh & I enjoyed it so much that we took our dc to see it tonight. (Our dc are 14 & 11yo.) On the way home, 11yo said that it should win the Oscar for Best Foreign Film. Both dc really enjoyed it -- found it funny & touching. There is some bad language in it, as well as some sexual innuendo. Imo, that's not a problem, esp. in context of the film. Ymmv. The movie is rated R here in the US; don't know what rating it was given in other places. (It's originally a French movie.) Imdb.com gives some specifics as to why it's rated R.

Switzerland's rating system can be pretty strict for kids and they rated it legal age 10 (which means a child with parent can go see from age 8, and from age 10 otherwise). It's so weird when foreign movies that are PG-13 material at the most are rated R. I think it must be the language. My son hasn't watched any American films with an R rating, but he has watched a couple of R-rated French ones because they were simply not R material and I have no idea why they were rated as such. On a French movie site for parents it says Intouchables is good for 9+. ETA:I haven't seen it yet, but 9 is probably a bit on the young side--French standards are a bit different--not lower, just different.

On a French movie site for parents it says Les Intouchables is good for 9+. Thanks for explaining that! I find it ironic that this movie is an R (as well as The King's Speech being R), while movies like the latest Batman one (scary, violent) & others like it are only PG-13. Personally, I find violence/creepy/scary things more worthy of an R-rating vs. sexual innuendo &/or bad language. I'm guessing this movie got an R here because of the times the F-word was used in the movie (& put in the subtitles :lol:).

I just looked up the legal age in Switzerland for The Dark Knight Rises and it's 14 (compared to age 10 for Intouchables) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeslieAnneLevine Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 (edited) Maybe I'm Swiss at heart? ;) (Or maybe that's why I married a European guy? :D) :D Well, let's see, do you like chocolate and cheese? If you also like mountains and cows, you're in. Actually I have known a couple of expats in Switzerland who didn't like cheese. It was very sad. I picked out Switzerland in particular though because I know the ratings there are stricter than in France and often stricter than here in the U.S. For example, movies like Tangled and Brave had a legal age of 7 (5 accompanied by adult) and some theaters will enforce that. We were turned away from the second Narnia movie when my son was 7 because it was legal age 10 so he had to be at least 8 to see it with me. :glare: Edited August 5, 2012 by LeslieAnneLevine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
