Keokuk Public Library to host Thursday Night Movie Club
For the Daily Gate City
The Keokuk Public Library will host a movie night with the Thursday Night Movie Club this week.
Movies are shown in the Round Room, promptly at 6 p.m.
“The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (Le Scaphandre et le papillon)” was the unanimous choice of last month's movie-goers. It is a film based on the memoir by Jean-Dominique Bauby, former editor-in-chief for Elle Magazine. The film depicts Bauby's life after suffering a massive stroke at the age of 42, which left him with a condition known as locked-in syndrome. The condition paralyzed him, with the exception of his left eyelid, so that he could only communicate by blinking.
It won awards at the Cannes Film Festival, the Golden Globes and the BAFTA Awards, as well as four Academy Award nominations. It also has appeared on many critics' top 10 lists of the best films of 2007.
Anyone is invited to attend. Food and beverages are welcome. No registration is required, but seating is limited.
