From the award-winning director of DIVA and Betty Blue,presenting the first DVD release of the Jean-Jacques Beineix Collection.
Monsieur Michel is poor and friendless who fulfills his life with his make-believe dog, that is, until his neighbors begin to complain about the dog’s “barking.”
Jean-Dominique Bauby, editor-in-chief of French fashion magazine, ELLE, suffered a brain stem stroke – at the age of 43. After 20 days in a coma, Bauby awoke to find himself totally paralyzed and speechless, afflicted with the rare condition known as Locked-In Syndrome whereby a patient is aware and awake but cannot move or speak due to paralysis of nearly all voluntary muscles.
His story came to the attention of famed French director, Jean-Jacques Beineix, when it was learned that Bauby learned to communicate by blinking his left eye. Beineix was the first to document Bauby’s long journey and daily strug-gle to write his book, ‘The Diving Bell and the Butterfly,’ which transports the reader into the mind of an immobile man, his humor and his faith in life. This documentary and the book inspired the critically-acclaimed film of the same title.
Otaku is a term in Japan given to youth, mostly male, who immerse themselves in a virtual world made up of images, movies, plastic dolls and video games. Beineix attempts to understand the phe-nomenon and its repercussions in Japanese society.
