THE DIVING BELL AND THE BUTTERFLY

Story Image


The film is based on a true story

Friday June 6,2008

By Allan Hunter

DEEPLY moving true story of the dashing Paris editor felled by a massive stroke.

Paralysed and unable to speak, he was able to communicate only by the blinking of an eye.

His story sounds gruelling but this is a joyous celebration of an indomitable human spirit, with heartbreaking performances from Quantum Of Solace Bond baddie Mathieu Amalric and former Blofeld, Max Von Sydow as his aged father.

*** BUY THE DIVING BELL AND THE BUTTERFLY ON DVD NOW! ***

OUR VERDICT: 4/5
