At the Phoenix this week is The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (Le Scaphandre et le papillon) (12A) starring Marie-Josee Croze, Anne Consigny, Emmanuelle Seigner and Mathieu Amalric. Remarkable true story of Jean-Dominique Bauby (Amalric), charismatic editor of French Elle magazine, who at the age of 43 suffered a stroke that rendered his brain stem inactive. He awoke from a coma to find himself a victim of locked-in syndrome: mentally alert but physically paralysed. His only means of communicating was by blinking his left eye. He was forced to look into himself for two other things that weren't paralysed, his imagination and his memory. He learned a blinking code for each letter of the alphabet and he painstakingly told the story of a profound adventure into the human psyche. Contains sexualised nudity and one use of moderate language.
