The true story of Elle France editor Jean-Dominique Bauby, who, in 1995 at the age of 43, suffered a stroke that paralyzed his entire body, except his left eye. Using that eye to blink out his memoir, Bauby eloquently described the aspects of his interior world, from the psychological torment of being trapped inside his body to his imagined stories from lands he'd only visited in his mind.

Pretty incredible stuff, and the screenplay adapted by Ron Harwood (The Pianist) and direction of painter turned filmmaker Julian Schnabel (Before Night Falls, Basquiat) are able to use many of Bauby's own elegant thoughts and words directly from the manuscript, but also flesh out the larger story o....
