The Diving Bell and the Butterfly

[DM CptReilly]

Plot: The true story of Elle editor Jean-Dominique Bauby who suffers a stroke and has to live with an almost totally paralyzed body; only his left eye isn't paralyzed.

Review: Wow this movie was amazing. The cinematography is very original from Bauby's point of view. This is a true story and this guy wrote a whole book by BLINKING one letter at a time... wow. I would recommend this to people that have the patience to read all the subtitles... because it's in French.

His story is truly amazing, check it out.

9/10
