F|f: The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (Julian Schnabel, 2007)

19 October 2007

After a stroke, editor Jean-Dominique Bauby can only move his left eye. The first act of Diving Bell convincingly relates the leg-aching frustrations that this real-life situation could produce, well aided by Kaminski’s first-person camerawork. As Bauby recovers, the storytelling becomes less inventive—and Schnabel’s film loses its creative force.
