The Diving Bell and The Butterfly

Friday, May 16, 2008

In 1995, when a massive stroke left French magazine editor Jean-Dominique Bauby totally paralyzed, the only way he could communicate was by blinking his left eye. And that's how he dictated his memoir, The Diving Bell and The Butterfly. Kurt talks to painter and filmmaker Julian Schnabel about how he turned Bauby’s book into a movie, just out on DVD.

Guests:

Julian Schnabel
