Filmtip: The Diving Bell and the Butterfly

Vrijdag 15 januari 2009 van 22:50 tot 0:40 uur op Nederland 2. Bekroonde film van Julian Schnabel uit 2007. Naar de autobiografie, Le Scaphandre et le Papillon, van Jean-Dominique Bauby, hoofdredacteur van modeblad Elle, die door een beroerte volledig verlamd raakte en enkel nog zijn linkeroog kon bewegen.
Martin Tsai: Instead, there are a few genuine moments in "Diving Bell," as when the bedridden author recognizes how he has hurt the people who have dutifully remained by his side. His realization wasn't a comment on his anguished existence, but on the magnitude of humanity and compassion all around him, and though it probably won't win any Oscars, it inspires and uplifts in an unexpected way that makes viewers believe that joie de vivre is less a cliché than something too often taken for granted.
