Review of The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007) by Jojoj — 14 Jan 2008
While the story itself is "inspirational" and "incredible," I did not connect with the film. I understand the task of blinking out a book is insanely difficult and this man was brave and I am in awe of him.
But he didn;t seem like that noble of a man in life ... abandoning his kids, putting Celine through that scene at the hospital when his mistress calls. Why didn't he blink out "CALL BACK TOMORROW" ?? And the first 20 minutes wer so disorienting with teh in and out of first person focus that I almost had to leave b/c I was physically uncomfortable.
I understand that was the director's intent ... but it doesn't make it any less unpleasant.
