Movie • 2007 • Drama
ReportSynopsis
The true story of Elle France editor Jean-Dominique Bauby, who, in 1995 at the age of 43, suffered a stroke that paralyzed his entire body, except his left eye. Using that eye to blink out his memoir, Bauby eloquently described the aspects of his interior world, from the psychological torment of being trapped inside his body to his imagined stories from lands he'd only visited in his mind.

There is a disturbing scene in which a surgeon sews a man's eye shut. This scene is in the first person - filmed as though it is our eye being sewn shut
