...film opens inside Bauby's head, going in and out of focus like his consciousness; we get the same blurry vision, varying sound levels and blinking camera. Bauby feels the natural anger and humiliation; on the voiceover narration he observes, "I'm 42 years old and I'm being washed like a big baby." In a hand mirror he catches sight of himself and his drooping mouth: "I look like I came out of formaldehyde." But Bauby is a fighter, who has the best (and most gorgeous) trainers to help him connect and communicate with the world he was once...

In a hospital for the aged, nurses perform perfunctory tasks for old droolers, whom Seidl photographs unpityingly. The humiliations - of the characters, the actors and the audience - pile up for 2 hrs 15 mins. Whatever it all means, the film plays like...
...These people know how to make the camera love them; they've been doing it for years, in some cases decades. So I have to think what I saw today was a prank of the emulsion, or the director. The big Palais screen, as longtime festivalgoers can vouch, is supposed to lend an extra radiance to Hollywood stars. Soderbergh makes them look like Nick Nolte in that mug shot...
