Partizanfilm: The Big Blue (1988)

Partizanfilm, 230 College Street, Burlington

The film is a heavily fictionalized and dramatized story of the friendship and sporting rivalry between two champion free divers. It was one of France's most commercially successful films. French title: Le Grand Bleu

Director: Luc Besson
Year: 1988
Genre: Drama

A note from PartizanFilm: "Although it's a French movie, most of the dialogue is in English. . . . THE BIG BLUE was a major cultural phenomenon in France in the late 1980s and may be of interest to francophiles."
