In an effort to be more “social” as dictated by a collective AHBH ‘09 resolution (minimal at-home karaoke, fewer discussions of BOD’s) — we left the house yesterday and rented The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (I also bought a delicious bagel.)
I have not seen Julian Schnabel’s other two movies and I have never been especially taken by any of his paintings (though admittedly fascinated by his pink NYC palazzo) but I thought that this movie was throughly stunning. I think it achieves what The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (which I liked well enough) tries to do, but with less manipulation.
