I had always winced at the idea of watching The Big Blue - the title, on release, put me off. Anyway, for my 48th birthday I puckered up and watched it; and what a relief I have.
It's a great film...very mildly directed, but actually puts a bit of magic back into film (are you listening, Hollywood?)
The acting is first-rate; and there is a great number of stars, which is good for people of a certain age (yes, I do mean me).
Technically and Production Value-wise it is a peerless. Luc Besson sure knows how to place the camera for the maximum reward; and the music is faint, yet pleasing, courtesy of Eric Serra.
Lovely to watch, it has put a spring in my step all day.
