Wouldn't have thought it'd be my kind of thing -- teenage pregnancy etc -- but it was fab. Highly recommend it. Went to see Juno last night.

But the film said the girlfriend never visited. Hmmmm. Well he had left his wife for the girlfriend. But the film said the girlfriend never visited. Hmmmm.

Have a friend who said he was totally unmoved by it - cold-hearted bastard. ;-) Apparently, the film misrepresented things a bit. The wife was less devoted in reality and the girlfriend the real support. Pissed people off in reality. I must see it so.

It's not just the story but the incredible technique he employs to tell it. Its a long time since I've seen a film where you are hurled so..violently...into the character's predicament right from the first few seconds. I think I was weeping one minute in :-) A must-see.

I read it over Christmas http://fichefocal.blogspot.com/2008/01/le-scaphandre-et-le-papillon.html It is a beautiful beautiful book. There were parts where it was terribly touching and sad, but overall I came away uplifted because it drove home the point that we always take for granted - how precious time is, especially with our loved ones. The film is supposed to be very beautiful and visually stunning (Shnabel was apparently an artist for many years before starting to making films). I'm looking forward to the film. This time I better click on DVD! Sarah,
