Storia
The film 'Le scaphandre et le papillon' directed by Julian Schnabel in 2007 is a biographical drama based on the memoir of the same name written by Jean-Dominique Bauby. The story revolves around Bauby, who suffers from locked-in syndrome after a stroke, leaving him unable to communicate except by blinking his left eyelid. Despite his condition, Bauby manages to dictate his entire memoir using this method, with a translator spelling out letters until he blinks to select the one he wants. The film follows Bauby's journey of coping with his new reality and his determination to complete his memoir while also reconnecting with his family and life outside his hospital room.
Riassunto
Adapted from Jean-Dominique Bauby's best-selling memoir, 'Le scaphandre et le papillon' is a French drama that delves into the extraordinary true story of Bauby, who found himself paralyzed and unable to communicate after suffering a stroke at the age of 43. The film explores themes of resilience, communication, and the human spirit's ability to persist even in the face of extreme adversity. Despite its heavy subject matter, it is celebrated for its poetic visual storytelling and powerful performances, particularly by Mathieu Amalric as Bauby.
