The true story of Elle editor Jean-Dominique Bauby who suffers a stroke and has to live with an almost totally paralysed body; only his left eye isn’t paralysed., Poignant drama telling the real-life story of a man left paralysed in the prime of his life who went on to show incredible reserves of spiritual strength to author his memoirs. Once a powerful magazine editor in France, the man was struck down in his 40s by a stroke that left him unable to move a muscle, yet did not affect his mental reflexes. He went on to write his autobiography just by blinking patterns – the only physical activity he could still perform – which followed an alphabetical code. Dir: Julian Schnabel., Visually splendid and enthralling fact-based account of the travails and triumphs of a French magazine editor (Mathieu Amalric) who suffers a massive stroke at 43, leaving him with movement only in his left eyelid. Directed by Julian Schnabel, who was nominated for an Oscar, as was Ronald Harwood for his script, which was based on protagonist Jean-Dominique Bauby’s best-selling 1997 memoir., Poignant drama telling the real-life story of a man left paralysed in the prime of his life who went on to show incredible reserves of spiritual strength to author his memoirs. Once a powerful magazine editor in France, the man was struck down in his 40s by a stroke that left him unable to move a muscle, yet did not affect his mental reflexes. He went on to write his autobiography just by blinking patterns – the only physical activity he could still perform – which followed an alphabetical code., The astonishing true-life story of Jean-Dominic Bauby — a man who held the world in his palm, lost everything to sudden paralysis at 43 years old, and somehow found the strength to rebound — first touched the world in Bauby’s best-selling autobiography The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (aka La Scaphandre et la Papillon), then in Jean-Jacques Beineix’s half-hour 1997 documentary of Bauby at work, released under the same title, and, ten years after that, in this Cannes-selected docudrama, helmed by Julian Schnabel (Basquiat) and adapted from the memoir by Ronald Harwood (Cromwell). The Schnabel/Harwood picture follows Bauby’s story to the letter — his instantaneous descent from a wealthy and congenial playboy and the editor of French Elle, to a bed-bound, hospitalized stroke victim with an inactive brain stem that made it impossible for him to speak or move a muscle of his body. This prison, as it were, became a kind of “diving bell” for Bauby — one with no means of escape. With the editor’s mind unaffected, his only solace lay in the “butterfly” of his seemingly depthless fantasies and memories. Because of Bauby’s physical restriction, he only possessed one channel for communication with the outside world: ocular activity. By moving his eyes and blinking, he not only began to interact again with the world around him, but — astonishingly — authored the said memoir via a code used to signify specific letters of the alphabet. In Schnabel’s picture, Mathieu Amalric tackles the difficult role of Bauby; the film co-stars Emmanuelle Seigner, Marie-Josée Croze, Anne Consigny, and Patrick Chesnais., Remarkable, fact-based account of the travails and triumphs of a French magazine editor who suffers a massive stroke at 43, leaving him with movement only in his left eyelid., Despite suffering almost complete paralysis following a massive stroke, French Elle editor Jean-Dominique Bauby succeeded in writing his memoirs. This is the story of that incredible journey., The true story of Elle editor Jean-Dominique Bauby who suffers a stroke and has to live with an almost totally paralyzed body; only his left eye isn’t paralyzed.
