Le Scaphandre et le papillon.

I watched The Diving Bell and the Butterfly last night.

Good lord! What an incredible A) film, and B) thing.

It is a true story about Elle editor Jean-Dominique Bauby who suffers a stroke and is left totally paralyzed apart from being able to blink his left eye. He is basically trapped in his own body.

Anyway, with the help of others and his left eye he writes a book about what he is going through, this was then obviously made into a sensational film.

The Director, Julian Schnabel does an incredible job of piecing the entire thing together and making you really feel like you are in Jean-Do's head, trapped with him.

Amazing and inspirational in so many ways, hire the VHS and watch it now.
