What to rent: New DVD releases for 4/29/08
Nothing spectactular comes out this week, although Amazon does have some sweet deals on various TV shows on DVD.
There’s actually only one movie I’d fee comfortable recommending this week, so all-in-all, it’s a yawner of a Tuesday.
The Diving Bell and the Butterfly
This movie has an 8.2 rating on IMDB, and a 94% on Rotten Tomatoes. It was nominated for four Academy Awards, won two Golden Globes and had a total of 35 wins in various festivals and award shows.
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.
I really want to see this one, I heard it’s unbelievably magical and inspiring. Can you imagine “blinking” out your memoirs? (buy)
