How Did I Miss This?

Last night I watched a movie called The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, directed by Julian Schnabel. It was in French with English sub-titles so I had to pay attention. I think only the French can do such meaningful extended metaphors, ones that don't go all soggy and make you cringe.

I'm not going to tell you what the film is about because you should really just watch it. I will say that the cinematography is gorgeous and the acting superb. I must have tucked this film into my unconscious when it first came out. Seeing it at the Jeffersonville Library made it rise to the surface. Libraries always seem to have what I need.
