Based on the book Le Scaphandre et le papillon,
by Jean-Dominique Bauby (Editions Robert Laffont, 1997)
The Diving Bell and the Butterfly is the remarkable true story of Jean-Dominique Bauby (Amalric), the charismatic editor-in-chief of French Elle, who believes he is living life to the fullest until a sudden stroke leaves him in a life-altered state. Struck by 'locked in syndrome' he is almost totally paralysed but is reborn through his left eye, the one body part which retains movement. He calls his new point of view 'the butterfly' and begins to discover how his earlier passions, his rich memories and his newfound imagination can help him achieve a new life without boundaries. The Diving Bell and the Butterfly is the third film from artist and director Julian Schnabel (Basquiat, Before Night Falls). It has won him Best Director at this year’s Cannes Film Festival and two Golden Globes - Best Director and Best Foreign Film.
To celebrate the release of The Diving Bell and the Butterfly on 8 February 2008 we are giving away books and posters signed by director, Julian Schanbel.
