Highly fictionalised fantasy that for the most part seems aimed at a female audience until the struggle with the death drive that is the film's real theme (could Big Blue also mean depression?) leads both male protagonists to reject their women, the world and ultimately life (Jacques Mayol would later commit suicide by hanging). Overall, the film has a kitschy aesthetic, but features some undeniably pretty cinematography. Audio was out of sync when I saw it, but probably just a messed-up copy.

Let's be clear on one thing! The reason why you should watch this movie is to experience the wonderfully beautiful underwater photo, combined with the amazing music of Eric Serra. Jean Reno also shines with humor. The downside of the film is our main character. I cannot understand him. Those who reject Rosanna Arquette gets a minus in my book.

About living between worldly enchantment and marine disenchantment (as enchantment). Watched it a long time ago for quite a few times and liked it. Guess what I liked was the blue everywhere giving a feeling of detachment from the entropic world, and the childlike eyes and unreserved enthusiasm of Jacques (though their combination means ultimately orientation towards fantasies).

Apparently I watched the director's cut. That was a bad idea. There is no fucking reason for this story to go for almost 3 hours. My main problem was the interminable length (plus the hideous music and awful French comedy) so I should probably watch the theatrical version one day. The diving sequences and underwater photography are top-notch.

Love the pacing (with one caveat that I'll get to), the visuals, the soundtrack, the tone, the humor, Jean Reno, and Rosanna Arquette. Main character wasn't too shabby either, but Reno's been my favorite since forever, and wow, Rosanna Arquette probably would've been a since-forever favorite had I caught another 80s movie with her in it. Things happen way too quickly and suddenly towards the end, which is lame considering Besson had 3 hours to wrap things up, but overall it's almost great.
