The Big Blue
''The Big Blue'' (released in some countries under the French title ''Le Grand Bleu'') is a 1988 film in the French '' Cinéma du look'' visual style, made by French director Luc Besson. It is a heavily fictionalized and dramatized story of the friendship and sporting rivalry between two leading contemporary champion free divers in the 20th century: Jacques Mayol (played by Jean-Marc Barr) and Enzo Maiorca (renamed "Enzo Molinari" and played by Jean Reno), and Mayol's fictionalized relationship with his girlfriend Johana Baker (played by Rosanna Arquette). The film became one of France's most commercially successful films (although an adaptation for US release was a commercial failure in that country).

In real life, Mayol lived from 1927 to 2001 and Maiorca retired from diving to pol ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
