I watched this for the first time in film club, and its now my all time favourite film. It is a french subtitled film about a man who suffers a devastating stroke. The acting is superb and helps to tell the story amazingly. The cinematography and the perspectives are clever and really puts you in the film. I have never been one to cry in films even if I have found the plot tragic, but this is film brought me closest to tears. A true masterpiece, that I would recommend to any film lover.
