Featuring haunting submarine sequences, Big Blue is like director Luc Besson's baby with its Greek-Sicilian seascapes and 80s electronic music in the background. It is a masterpiece in every sense different from Nikita and Léon, the violent films that made Besson world famous. It tells a spiritual journey on the skeleton of a romantic comedy and accompanied by mind-blowing visuals.
