about not being as enamored with Schnabel as a painter/sculptor/collagist because for me the weakest parts of the movie were Schnabel's artistic interpretations of Bauby's internal/imaginative world. The imagery just didn't resonate very strongly with me. It didn't take me out of the movie or negatively effect the overall emotional impact but there was a noticeable drop-off of involvement in those moments.

That said I appreciated what he was trying to do.

I feel Schnabel is more effective using film than any other media...so far. I thought segmnent of the movie depicing Bauby's internal world and states of mind were superb.

SCnabel, BTTW, was/is a hugely successful artist.
