The Diving Bell and the Butterfly

Director: Julian Schnabel. Starring: Mathieu Amalric, Emmanuelle Seigner, Marie-Josée Croze, Anne Consigny. 112 mins. French with English subtitles.

Recounting the remarkable true story of Jean-Dominique Bauby (Amalric), charismatic editor of French Elle magazine, who at the age of 43 was left a victim of locked-in syndrome following a stroke; he learned a blinking code to communicate his experience with his left eye. A wonderfully assured compassionate film.
Contains sexualised nudity and one use of moderate language.
