The Diving Bell and the Butterfly

Screen Reviews

Julian Schnabel directs this true story of a successful French magazine editor, Jean-Dominque Bauby , who was struck with a paralyzing condition that leaves the afflicted with all his mental faculties, but unable to talk or move. Through the use of one good eye, a brilliant therapist, and patient transcriptionist, Bauby was able to create the book upon which the film is based. S D Green is suitably awed.
