Deep and pure poetry

Rating: 10/10 (15 December 1999)

The first thing I knew about this film, was the wonderful music.
I was totally enchanted by the music. From this moment on, I knew, I had to see that film.
And it went beyond my expectations... The great images, the breathtaking music, and the brilliant story, which is full of the fascination and the love for the sea. This film touches you deep in your soul, you are caught on the fishing gear and it will never let you off the hook.
Melancholic and honestly, but humorous and lively at the same time. Every time, I watch the film, I wonder, how to find the balance for both of it, but Luc Besson found it perfectly.
Its deep and pure poetry enchanted me and there is no film, that could be compared with "The Big Blue" (Version Longue).
