Two movies I highly recommend: The Diving Bell and the Butterfly and Mysterious Skin. Each was my #2 film of its respective year.
A double feature I DON'T recommend? The Diving Bell and the Butterfly and Mysterious Skin.
Because after watching the true story of a man who gets completely paralyzed by a stroke, then goes through intensive physical therapy
just to move his head and tongue, only to die of pneumonia, the only thing that can make you even MORE depressed is following it with a film about two eight year old boys who are raped several times by their Little League coach and experience irreversible emotional damage. It's a double feature intended only for the very suicidal...and me, I suppose, since this is what I chose to watch last night.Then I got very quiet and had to go to bed.
If you haven't seen either one of these films, I must insist that you watch them.
But NOT together.
I've seen Diving Bell, but not Skin. Will check it out. :)
