I saw it last night and was pretty blown away by it... THE DIVING BELL & THE BUTTERFLY is moving without being overly sentimental and an extraordinary film, especially with the long POV shots that place you inside Jean-Dominique Bauby's terrifying incapacitated state and some really interesting (and almost experimental) cinematography. Flashes of stunning imagery also permeate the film, even simple, ordinary things like a shot of hair flying in the wind or the metaphorical imagery employed throughout the film and in the end credits. Really just an incredible film. If there's a fault to be found in the film it's perhaps that some parts feel repetitive (you'll see what I mean) but this isn't really a fault - it's showing how uncomfortably repetitive and hard it was for Bauby to communicate. It makes you wait alongside Bauby which frustrates you but that's the exact intention of the film. But really, this is a masterpiece. 9/10
