MARY RIEPMA ROSS MEDIA ARTS CENTER
The Orphanage and The Diving Bell and The Butterfly Play at the Ross
UNL's Mary Riepma Ross Media Arts Center presents The Orphanage and The Diving Bell and The Butterfly. Both films will show through February 28.
A woman discovers dark secrets hidden within her cherished childhood home in the supernatural drama The Orphanage, the feature film debut of acclaimed young Spanish director Juan Antonio Bayona. A superbly atmospheric and emotionally powerful tale of love, loss and guilt, The Orphanage is the first film ever to be presented by Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Guillermo delToro, who also produced.
Celebrated painter and filmmaker Julian Schnabel's third feature finds him reaching new artistic heights with the audacious and personal The Diving Bell and The Butterfly, based on the best-selling memoir of the same name. The film tells the remarkable tale of Jean-Dominique Bauby (Mathieu Amalric), the world-renowned editor of French Elle magazine, who suffered a stroke and was paralyzed by the inexplicable "locked in" syndrome at age 43. Bauby's only way of communicating with the outside world was by blinking with one eye, and after several dedicated helpers helped him to speak through this seemingly irrelevant gesture, he began to produce the words that would form his memoir.
More information is available at the Ross website.
