Probably best known for his role as the Bond villain in "Quantum of Solace," this movie stars Mathieu Amalric as Jean-Dominique Bauby the editor of Elle Magazine, who suffers a stroke and is paralyzed. Consequently the only way he can communicate is by blinking.
I have to say this movie was very well done. I would really hate to be in a situation where the only means of communication is very slow and tedious. Also this is the second film I've seen Mathieu Amalric in. The other of course being "Quantum of Solace" because of my love for the James Bond films. I have to say he is a terrific actor.
So overall I have to say this movie was a little slow, but very excellent. Then I also have to point out Isaach De Bankole who was in "Casino Royale" and the seventh season of "24" had a bit part in this movie.
Rating: 9/10
