Quite simply, the most original and exceptional film I have seen this year. It restored my faith in stories that have yet to be told in cinema and in stylistic approaches that have yet to be employed.
From imdb:
"Elle editor Jean-Dominique Bauby suffered a stroke that paralyzed his entire body, except his left eye. Using that eye to blink out his memoir, Bauby eloquently described the aspects of his interior world, from the psychological torment of being trapped inside his body to his imagined stories from lands he'd only visited in his mind.”
The imagery is rich, cinematically speaking and symbolically too. A significant majority of the film is from a first person perspective using POV (point-of-view) camera. The story is interspersed with sequences of imagined vignettes.
The film ends with a Tom Waits song.
*****/5

i thought u'd like that addition.
the film has taken the lead over Atonement, There Will Be Blood, No Country For Old Men, Juno, The Darjeeling Limited etc.
o god. there will be blood was the worst movie in the history of all movies. i would pick some charlie champlain shit over that. it was more annoying than having a needle jabbed into my eye all day long and made me sicker than the time that prostitute threw up in my mouth....ive said too much.
