"True story of the 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."
The reviews that I've read (http://www.salon.com/ent/movies/review/2007/11/30/diving_bell/, http://www.bbc.co.uk/films/2008/02/04/the_diving_bell_and_the_butterfly_2008_review.shtml, http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071220/REVIEWS/712200301/1023) all seem to praise the film as inspirational. From the trailer, it does seem like a rather heroic story.
I'm not sure, though, who exactly it would appeal to. Since it is a French film, if it was shown in French with English subtitles, I'm sure the French Club would come. Otherwise, though, it's probably one of those movies that people have heard of but never seen, so would attract a general group of film goers. As for points of discussion, well... I'm not really sure. I'd probably have to see the whole movie.
