The Diving Bell and the Butterfly

Suffering a massive stroke at the age of 43, Elle Paris magazine editor Jean-Dominique Bauby was left paralyzed. With only his left eyelid being able to move, Bauby proved he was only limited by his imagination, writing a novel through the use of a series of blinks developed by him and a dedicated speech therapist. Mathieu Amalric, Emmanuelle Seigner, Max von Sydow star in this fanciful true-life drama from director Julian Schnabel. 112 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: French Dolby Digital 5.1; Subtitles: English. In French with English subtitles.
