No wonder audiences didn't connect with this film, an early Luc Besson-Jean
Reno collaboration that explores the mysterious world of deep deep diving.
Oddly, The Big Blue is somehow a love story as well, with Rosanna Arquette and
Jean-Marc Barr making goo-goo eyes between his deep dives and swims with the
dolphins. The Reno-Barr rivalry (who can dive deeper) consitutes the bulk of
the film, as well as its most dramatic moments, but the strange dolphin
symbolism, blue-tinted photography, and self-important chest-beating will
likely leave most viewers out to sea.
Aka Le Grand Bleu.
