The Big Blue
Jacques (Barr, BREAKING THE WAVES) and his friendly rival Enzo (Reno, THE PROFESSIONAL) are considered masters of free-diving and have made a career out of this one-of-a-kind competition. Jacques feels an unusual bond with the sea and Enzo is in it for the sheer danger involved. A new dimension of their lifelong rivalry is generated by the beautiful Johana (Arquette, DESPERATELY SEEKING SUSAN) who leaves her career in New York to accompany the two men on the international diving circuit. Beautiful underwater cinematography and a stunning score enrich Besson's celebrated English-language debut.

Is it possible to beat Hollywood at its own game – or even to play on the same field? That’s the 60 million Euro question for French filmmakers, as it is for the Brits, the Germans, and anyone else with a viable industry stuck in the Americans’ cultural choke-hold. Hollywood established its European market on the back of the Great War, when the competition was at its most vulnerable. With the deepest pockets in the business, the major studios coaxed many of the hottest... Read more
