Stunningly beautiful film about a different world, the sea.

Rating: 10/10 (2 December 2000)

This is a wonderful story that takes you into a world few of us know; that of the lives of world record chasing free divers. The story centers around two rivals and friends who push each other further toward the edge of human endurance. There is humor, heartache, spectacular scenery and underwater photography, and wonderful acting from all three lead actors. It was a terrific introduction for me to two great foreign actors, Jean Reno and Jean-Marc Barr. Both could hardly have been better in conveying these very different but driven men. The final scene is both striking and satisfying. A powerful film.
