Advantages: Beautifully Shot, great story

Disadvantages: can be too arty for some

The Big Blue ranks in my top 10 films of all time, as it is one of the best works by French director Luc Besson, and one of his earliest. You will be stunned by the beauty and sheer love and care that has gone into almost every frame and shot of this visual feast.

Based around thhe world of free-diving, where divers see how deep they can go on just one breath, and two child-hood friends/rivals meet again in a world championship, and Jacques Mayhol (Jean-Marc Barr) has become involved with a woman, but it seems he is more at home under-water.

An often emotional story, but gripping from the opening black and white sequence to the last of it's 163 minutes, The Big Blue can so easily be a film that you will watch again and again.

If you have the option, and the hardware, buy the DVD, and it will do justice to the stunning visuals, and features the usual scene access, language/subtitle options, and original trailer, but that is it. But with the quality of the main feature, you wont feel cheated by the lack of additional features.
