Le scaphandre et le papillon


My mom recommended this movie to me last year but it took a while to find it (it had already finished in cinemas here) and then several months until it got selected from the big piles of DVDs to actually be watched.

Le scaphandre et le papillon
(The diving bell and the butterfly) was a wonderful, sad, thoughtful, beautiful film. Directed by artist Julian Schnabel, the visual aspects of the film were wonderful, but it's the story that was so touching.

We both really liked it, and we'd now like to see the other Schnabel films someday.
