Diving Bell and the Butterfly, The

Unique camera angles, fuzzy frames, choppy dialogue, and painstakingly slow pacing reinforce this touching, heart-wrenching, factually based, quip-filled, and ultimately inspirational story about courageous and stubborn French Elle magazine editor Jean-Dominique Bauby (Mathieu Amalric) who suffered a horrendous and terrifying cerebrovascular accident at 43 years old that affected his brainstem and made him a prisoner in his own body where he could literally move only his left eye, but he went on to write his memoir on which this film is based.
