Le Scaphandre et Le Papillon / The Diving Bell & The Butterfly
(2007, dir. Julian Schnabel, 112 mins, France)
When Elle France editor Jean-Dominique Bauby suffers a stroke at age 43, he wakes to find his entire body paralyzed, except his left eye. Using a series of eye blinks, Bauby dictates a memoir that describes his experience—from the torment of being trapped inside his body to the frustrations of maintaining his old relationships and adjusting to the new. Based on Bauby’s memoir, the film won a Best Director award at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival and was nominated for four Oscars. In French with English subtitles.
