I saw this a few nights ago, and had been intending to see it since I heard about it a year or so back. Definitely an amazing film. Its based on Frenchman Jean-Dominique Bauby who is the editor of Elle magazine. As you can imagine, he lives a very extravagant, fulfilling life. He suffers from a stroke and suffers from a rare case called "locked in syndrome" at the age of 43 which paralyzes his entire body except for his left eye.
Using that eye to blink out his memoir, he eloquently describes the aspects of his interior world and the psychological torment of being trapped inside his body. Its a bloody good watch. Definitely check it out in this so far miserable looking weekend.
