'Diving' into a Personal Story

Fresh Air | By David Edelstein
Published November 30, 2007 at 12:22 PM EST

The Diving Bell and The Butterfly, a French film by Julian Schnabel (Basquiat and Before Night Falls), is based on a memoir by Jean-Dominique Bauby, an Elle magazine editor who suffered a stroke. Afterward, a therapist taught him to communicate by blinking his left eye.
