The Diving Bell and the Butterfly

The Diving Bell and the Butterfly is playing in Whirled Cinema on Friday 21st November.

The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, or Le Scaphandre et le Papillon, is based on the memoirs of Jean-Dominique Bauby, once the Editor in Chief of Elle.

At 45 he suffered a stroke and became completely paralysed except for his left eye which he then uses to tell his story. From one moment living the life of a playboy to the next, talking by blinking.

Mathieu Amalric, Emmanuelle Seigner and Marie-Josee Croze (Tell No One) star. It was nominated for four Oscars.

The Diving Bell and the Butterfly starts at 8.30pm in Whirled Art's cinema on Friday 21st November. Doors open 7.30pm and minimum age is 18.
