The remarkable true story of Jean-Dominique Bauby, played by Mathieu Amalric, who is the successful and charismatic editor-in-chief of French Elle until a stroke leaves him in a life-altered state where he finds a way to race through experiences of wonder and grief, sex and love, fatherhood and childhood, faith and questioning, ecstasy and absurdity ­– and touches the very essence of what it is to be human.  Directed by Cannes Film Festival Best Director honoree, and painter extraordinaire, Julian Schnabel.   In English and French with English subtitles.  Rated PG-13.  112 min.  (Miramax Films)
