Review of The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007) by Dylan L — 27 May 2009
This film is just a truly remarkable piece. Beginning with the first forty minutes of not even seeing Jean-Do from front to bottom in his condition brings out alot of emotion at the start. Even though he doesn't do much movement wise in the film, Mathieu Amalric approach was spot on.
The supporting cast as well gave this film a really strong force. The sense of just using his left eye to communicate and be able to have a book published is phenomenal. I was left close to tears at some of the moments especially when he talks about not being able to embrace his own children.
The disease itself scares me alot now. If you couldn't find yourself to have the least bit of emotion with this film or even cherish what you have after watching this, then you have one cold, stoned heart.
This is truly one of the best films I've seen this decade. Just incredible.
