The Diving Bell And The Butterfly

I saw a really great movie over the weekend called "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly". It's a true story about the editor of Elle magazine in France who suffered a stroke and only his brain and left eye escaped damage. The movie is based on his memoir which he wrote while in this paralyzed condition. I don't want to give anything away so I'll just say that it was one of the best movies I've seen in a long while and definitely worth seeing if you haven't already. It's in French so if you don't speak French it will be subtitled which shouldn't be a problem if you're literate.

If you're interested you can click here to check out the movie's website and see a trailer.
