In the Future (Jagjaguwar). Review by S D Green.
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.

What is in a name? Well, Mortimer Taylor Coleridge, Professor Fillmore Skinny, and Bertrand Fuddle suggest oddly mannered eccentrics contrived to knee-jerk the reader into a fantastical parallel world where it’s all evolutionary biology, hot dogs and Gwen Stefani. S D Green explores whether or not it’s a world worth visiting.
