The Big Blue

AroView: A visually, aurally (and literally) breathtaking tale of two rival free-fall divers, an American journalist, and the glorious Mediterranean.

Owed in no small part to Eric Serra’s gorgeous soundtrack, this lushly romantic ode to the spiritual power of the sea is arguably French dir. Luc Besson’s most fully-realised and satisfying film.

“A flawed fable but an intriguing one nonetheless. It’s “Splash” gone existential. How many films can you name like that?” ~Portland Oregonian
