Live From New York/INTOUCHABLES

First a visit to Abe's Mom, a 95 year old holocaust survivor at Regal Heights where  she resides in  Jackson Heights.  Our unannounced visit to this woman with sparkling white hair who was SO DELIGHTED to see us is a feel good moment for all involved.  Donuts for the staff, flowers for Ruth,  a wheel outdoors, and everyone benefits.  Then a ride to the Village for lunch at GRUB with Pam and off to the ANGELIKA where we saw a superb French film based on a true story.  INTOUCHABLES is a film about an extremely wealthy quadraplegic and his Senegalese caretaker, two lives and cultures intersecting to benefit all involved.  Omar Sy is a charismatic, sexy, vibrant actor who brings so much compassion to his role as a true caretaker to a rich paralyzed man in need of a life infusion.  This film is so real and unaffected.  I so hope it comes to Austin.  The Violet Crown would be a perfect venue.
