Le scaphandre et le papillon (2007)

aka
The Diving Bell and the Butterfly International (English title)
Schmetterling und Taucherglocke Germany





Adaptation of Elle editor Jean-Dominique Bauby's book about whose experience suffering under the locked-in syndrome after having had a stroke.

Amazingly successful account of a rare and nightmarish existential condition. The movie avoids any sentimentality, but - like the real-life author - tells this story with intelligence, humour and big hunk of humanity.
