Besson's first English-language production looks more European than Hollywood, and it suffers from a tin ear for the language. At times it feels more like an IMAX undersea documentary than a drama about free divers, but the lush and lovely images create a fairy tale dimension to Jacques's story, a veritable Little Merman. More dolphin than man, he's so torn between earthly love and aquatic paradise that even his dreams call him to the sea (in a sequence more eloquent than any speech).
Besson has expanded the film by 50 minutes for his director's cut, which adds little story but slows the contemplative pace until it practically floats in time, and has restored Eric Serra's synthesizer-heavy score, a slice of 1980s pop that at times borders on disco kitsch. Most importantly, he has restored his original ending, which echoes the fairy tale he tells Joanna earlier in the film and leaves the story floating in the inky blackness of ambiguity. --Sean Axmaker

Customer Reviews of The Big Blue (Director's Cut)
scenery For many people, this is a beautiful, inspiring film-a favorite in fact-but I have never really felt so drawn to this film. It has attained a kind of cult status, but I don't think it is because the story itself is so compelling. It is beautiful, particularly in cinematographic terms, but for example, the presence of Rosanna Arquette is several strikes against the film right off the bat. She alone can almost ruin the film, and she very nearly does. The cinematography is stunning and the lifelong competition between two very different men (Jean Reno and Jean-Marc Barr) with very similar purposes is fascinating to watch. Jean-Marc Barr portrays Jacques, a very sensitive young man with a deep connection to the sea; Jean Reno is more extravagant as Enzo, a more boisterous sort. Be sure to watch the director's cut; not the American cut up version. The added footage makes more a more reflective film, even if not deeply "action packed".

Good scenery..
I don't know why everyone loved this movie so much. Yes, the scenery was great but I found the dialogue and performances to be absolutely terrible! I also have to agree with the reviewers who did not enjoy the music. Not having heard anything about this movie previous to watching I went in with an open mind and came out horrified (and bored).
