Thanks to your French film recommendations from this post, I watched "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly." This incredibly moving film is based on the true life story of journalist 'Jean-Dominique Bauby', who suffered a stroke leaving his whole body paralyzed except for one eye, called locked-in syndrome.
Through mere blinking he communicated, and shared aspects of his inner imagination and memory for his last memoir. Not only is the cinematography exquisite, but this non light-hearted film made me think deeply. It caused me to ponder upon all of the things I am increasingly grateful for, especially the little things.
