The Diving Bell & The Butterfly

One of the truly beautiful, surreal, emotional, cathartic, life-affirming films I've ever seen, definitely deserving of all the praise and nominations it's garnered thus far. The first 20-30 minutes are difficult to get through, as we're placed in the point-of-view of a stroke victim, seeing and hearing everything he does, but as soon as things open up and we get into the narrator's dreams (and loves), it's pure cinematic genius. This is what art is all about.
