Review of The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007) by ♥Robyn — 19 Apr 2011
On December 9, 1995, Jean Dominique Bauby, the editor of Elle magazine, suffered a massive stroke which left him with "locked in syndrome"... and the only thing he can move is his left eyelid.
A speech therapist, (Marie Josee Croze) teaches him a laborious form of communication, and with this he is able to dictate his memoirs.
This really is an astonishing true life story ,about a man who held the world in his palm and lost everything to sudden paralysis at just 43 years old, and he somehow found the strength to rebound.
Interesting to note that Julian Schnabel won Golden Globe for Best Director with this movie,im not surprised at all~!
