The Diving Bell and the Butterfly**
Fra/US 2007. Pathe Renn. 112m.
The editor of Elle Magazine Jean-Dominique Bauby suffers a stroke but uses his left eye as a means of communicating with the outside world.
Absorbing true story which tries as much as possible to retain the subjective camera view of its main character to emphasise the horror of his condition, whilst still managing to give him an interior monologue and some imaginative visuals, and also sharing its sympathy not only with the patient but also those closest to him.
Written by: Ronald Harwood, from the book by Jean-Dominique Bauby.
Producers: Kathleen Kennedy, Jon Kilik.
Director: Julian Schnabel.
Starring: Mathieu Amalric, Emanuelle Seigner, Marie-Josee Croze, Anne Consigny, Patrick Chesnais, Max Von Sydow, Jean-Pierre Cassel.
Photography: Janusz Kaminski.
Music: Paul Cantelon.
Editing: Juliette Welfling.
