Review of The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007) by Cauê G — 29 Jul 2010
The Chicago Tribune, The NY Post, and Newsday gave this amazing film of courage and perseverance a "****" review, and I am more than happy to say that I'm on board with them. A philosophy instructor at the El Paso Community College once told me that he considers French cinema to be the best.
I don't think it is the best, but there's just something about it; the cinematography and direction, as well as the stories and acting. This film is moving and very inspiring. It made me realize that there are greater things out there to complain about, and that my problems are minimal.
I do recommend this film to more mature audiences because it is slow, there are some thematic elements, and since it is a French film, younger audiences may find it boring. I am so glad I got to see Le Scaphandre et le Papillon at this point in my life.
