THE DIVING BELL AND THE BUTTERFLY May 14 « Rated PG-13; 112 Minutes The winner of Best Director at the Festival de Cannes and Golden Globe recipient of Best Director of a Foreign Language Film, this bioepic received numerous international awards, including four Oscar nominations. Based on the memoir of Jean-Dominique Bauby, the vivacious, charismatic, and world-renown editor of French ELLE magazine, the film is an engaging and moving portrayal of his life after suffering a stroke at the age of forty-three. Completely paralyzed, except with the ability to blink one eye, Bauby learned to communicate with the outside world using this motion with the dedicated help of a string of beautiful women. Starting as a story about deprivation, it soon becomes a celebration of the richness of experience. It turns horror into wisdom and pity into joy.
