You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll be blown away

Rating: 10/10 (11 October 2006)

Just a quick notice, this review refers to the version longue, European edition Beautiful scenery, extraordinary underwater photography and possibly the best ever film-soundtrack combination (why they cut Eric Serra's magnificent score for the US edition is beyond me) the Big Blue is a stunning film to look and actually brings you into this extraordinary world. But there's also a good story behind it. Starting initially with the rivalry between legendary free divers Jacques Mayol (Jean Marc Barr) and Enzo Molinari (Jean Reno), a love interest is quickly added in the form of Rosanna Arquette's Joanna as the competition heightens.
There are some hilarious moments (mostly coming from Jean Reno) but at the same time it's also very sad as Joanna finds her love being ignored. To watch this properly, tell no one to interrupt you on fear of death, disconnect the phone and put the volume up load and prepare to to be taken away to another world
