The New York Film Critics...I saw Diving Bell and the Butterfly at the weekend on a BAFTA screener DVD. It's an incredible film. I cried my eyes out. Exquisite direction and cinematography (definite Oscar noms for both surely), with a riveting central performance from Mathieu Amalric, and a truly heartbreaking cameo from Max Von Sydow as his father. My vote for film of this award year so far.
