Going above and beyond the traditional biopic, "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly" is a painfully heart-aching reflection on memories and human desire.

A masterful combination of visual and aural images that skillfully place the viewer in the mind of a paralyzed man. The way such emotion and story is conveyed through a film whose main character basically can't move or talk is incredible.

Wow. This is like the stereotype of a dense foreign film with voiceover and "innovative" angles and plodding plot and whimsical imagery.

I was kind of angry with french cinema. My last fav was Amelie and I was checking stuff like Bresson that didnt like. Or Renoir. French cinema is usually pretentious. Anyway. This movie is nothing but perfect, and its difficult to achive that, because its a biopic. Its hard to deliver a good biopic because they're not usually faithful to the real story, and only shows crappy sentimentalism or they exagerate some aspects of the personality of the biopicted. Everyone in this movie just does what is suppossed to be done. I highly recommend this masterpiece.

A solid Biography about a man and a story I have never heard. Though it didn't get enough enough his life, it was told exceptionally well and acted well. I would have liked a little more development but still worthy of awards.
