This is a great story of unique a man with a deep love for the ocean, it's creatures and it's dangers.

Rating: 10/10 (5 February 2007)

This is a well kept secret, and like a great deal of films made without mainstream American actors it suffered at the box office. The European cast and locations are truly magnificent in themselves. The Big Blue has so much atmosphere, that it almost captures the residual wave motion we can feel before sleeping. The most striking thing I remember about the The Big Blue is the respect and friendship developed by the two main characters. Enzo has a brilliant presence in the film the character almost steals the the limelight from the lead character Jacque. Free diving may well be the most extreme sports on the planet, the real life hero's Jacques Mayol and Enzo Molinari must have been at the height of their talent and in amazing physical condition. Anyone who loves the ocean should see this film, I am sure this will stand the test of time. : )
