This simple tale of love, friendship and the sea lingers in the mind long after the final credits.

Empire Magazine
Besson fatally misjudges the cinematic interest of his theme.

Besson is no master storyteller.

Village Voice
The Big Blue soaks up the big screen in a splendor that's meant to be seen.

Austin Chronicle
Rating: D --
Is an extra 50 minutes of bad footage reason enough to re-release an already problematic movie? I wouldn't think so.

The first time you see someone plunging into alien blackness is exciting, but the novelty soon wears off.

Product Description:
Jacques (Barr) and Enzo (Reno) are friends and rivals in the dangerous world of deep-sea diving. Jacques feels an unusual affinity for the sea and is able to slow his heartrate during dives and stay underwater for superhuman durations. When Jacques meets a ditzy American insurance adjuster (Arquette), a love triangle develops with Jacques torn between his two great loves: a woman, and the ocean. Breathtaking underwater photography and a meditative, fairy-tale story have made this film a cult classic. THE BIG BLUE was heavily cut for its American release, and this Director's Cut restores over forty minutes of footage as well as the original score by composer Eric Serra. The resulting footage has lifted the film's rating to an "R."
