Le Scaphandre Et Le Papillon

I've given up trying to keep up with new movies as they come out. I still haven't seen Slumdog Millionaire. And that's fine. Something satisfying in waiting for the hooplah to die down and see it on your own accord; somewhat. Anyhow, I just watched the Diving Bell & The Butterfly, the film about the late Jean-Dominique Bauby, his stroke, and the realizations he was able to arrive upon thru only blinking one eye til the day he died. Brilliantly shot & acted, I even watched the "making of" featurette on the DVD that had me respecting the approach taken towards telling this story. Highly recommended, if you can stand reading subtitles of course.
