An amazing, breathtaking romance, an alltime classic, the story of an incredible passion and pure love.
Jacques(Jean Marc Barr) and Enzo(Jean Reno) have known each other for a long time. Since they both used to grown up a near sea village by Mediterrennian, they had interest in diving. When Jacques was a child one day he witnessed his father's death who was an unfortunate fischerman drowned in the sea. Feeling sorry for his dad, Jacques decided to become a diver hoping to find his father's corpse. Both Enzo and Jacques grown up and became worlwide famous divers. Nobody else could broke up their records, and this brought them together after all those long years. Jacques had a special talent that no normal person has; he could slow down his breathe and swim for long hours like dolphins without needing to take a breathe. Thus, he knew that he was different than his friend Enzo and could break up any records.
As Jacques was diving for some scientific projects he met Johanna. At first he loves Johanna as a lover, but then the friendship of dolphins and the passion of the sea overcomes to this love. Dolphins were Jacques' family and the sea was his home.
This emotional film ends with the scene with Johanna's farewell to Jacques sending him to the deep blue sea. The musics of the film by Eric Serra won 2 awards (Cesar) including best music and best sound. In 1989 Luc Besson also won the Academy Award of France when the film has nominated 6 other awards.
A breattaking romance. Absoulutely a cult film!
