The Diving Bell and the Butterfly.
I loved it! It is depressing but not as depressing as it sounds — a film about a French man (who was the editor of Elle Magazine) who suffers a stroke and is left with locked-in syndrome. He can’t speak and can only blink one eye to communicate yes or no. Amazingly, he writes a book this way. Directed by Julian Schnabel, it’s an amazing work of art, a great story, too. We saw it at BAM
I totally agree Louise. Wondefully made and a superb acting performance by Mathieu Amalric. I hope it doesn’t get overlooked although I’m sure it will. Happy holidays
