Enzo and Jacques have known each other for a long time. Their friendship started in their childhood days in the Mediterranean. They were not real friends in these days, but there was something they both loved and used to do the whole day long: diving. One day Jacques' father, who was a diver too, died in the Mediterranean sea. After that incident Enzo and Jacques lost contact. After several years, Enzo and Jacques had grown up, Johanna, a young clerk in an insurance office, has to go to Peru. There she meets Jacques who is being studied by a group of scientists. He dives for some minutes into ice-cold water and the scientists monitor his physical state that is more like a dolphin than human. Johanna can not believe what she sees and gets very interested in Jacques but she's unable to get acquainted with him. Some weeks later back in her office, she finds out that Jacques will be competing in a diving championship that takes place in Taormina, Sicily. In order to see Jacques again she makes up a story so the firm sends her to Italy for business purposes. In Taormina there is also Enzo, the reigning diving world champion. He knows that only Jacques can challenge and probably beat him. This time Johanna and Jacques get closer, but Jacques, being more a dolphin than man, cannot really commit and his rivalry with Enzo pushes both men into dangerous territory...
Leave your thoughts about The Big Blue.
| New York TimesJanet MaslinThe film's undersea footage has a powerful otherworldly quality, much as if it were unfolding in outer space, as indeed it might be. |
| VarietyVariety StaffBesson fatally misjudges the cinematic interest of his theme. |
| OregonianKim MorganDeeply adolescent; its impact is visceral rather than intellectual. |
| Empire MagazineIan NathanThis simple tale of love, friendship and the sea lingers in the mind long after the final credits. |
| Film4Film4 StaffA hypnotically beautiful and metaphysical delight. |
| Village VoiceMark HolcombThe results are predictably lachrymose, especially with the reinstated "unhappy" ending from the original French version. |
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenSilly as the narrative may sound, The Big Blue is nonetheless intriguing in its quaint originality. |
| L.A. WeeklyPaul CullumLet's call this "rethinking" The Abysmal. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasBesson's restored Big Blue proves mystical, intriguing. |
| Slant MagazineSteve MacfarlaneBesson's deep-diving melodrama stresses its own depth-emotional, artistic, oceanic-while ping-ponging between its two lead frenemies. |
