Sea Mammal Eroticism!

Rating: Null/10 (10 December 1998)

For some reason when we were watching this film the cinematography of the dolphin scenes made it extremely erotic. Luc Besson uses the intensely interesting concept of a man's love for a dolphin and displays it with beautifully filmed scenes, reminsicent of the love scenes in "Ghost".
The film also took an incredibly touching view of Jacques' perplexing position as a dolphin/human hybrid. This thematic brought tears to my eyes more than once--ah, the pain of being trapped between two words: aquatic love or Rosanna Arquette...
The choice, the film intones, is difficult. The overt eroticism of sea mammals or a woman with huge hair? Few films have addressed this issue with such candor or such splendor.
