The Diving Bell And The Butterfly (2007)
The Diving Bell and the Butterfly centers around Jean-Dominique Bauby, a former Elle Magazine editor-in-chief. At age 43, Bauby has a stroke, and though it doesn’t kill him, it is still debilitating. The only way he can communicate is by blinking one eye since the rest of Bauby is paralyzed. Empire describes the film as “a true cinematic experience.” The Diving Bell and the Butterfly depicts how Bauby dictated his memoirs, painstakingly.
