Jacques Mayol (1 April 1927 – 22 December 2001) was a French diver and the holder of many world records in free diving. The 1988 film The Big Blue, directed by Luc Besson was inspired by his life story and that of his friend, Enzo Maiorca. Mayol was one of the screenwriters and authored the book Homo Delphinus: the Dolphin Within Man of his philosophy about the aquatic origins of humans.

…

Jacques Mayol was a French national born in Shanghai, China. Mayol spent his summer vacations in Karatsu (Japan) every year as a child. When he was 7, he would skin dive with his older brother in seas around Nanatsugama (ja:七つ釜)(Karatsu,Japan), where he saw a dolphin for the first time. Mayol described the fateful encounter in his book, "Homo Delphinus: The Dolphin Within Man"

…

At 49, he was the first free diver to descend to 100 meters (330 ft) on 23 November 1976; and when he was 56, he managed to descend to 105 meters. During the scientific research phase of his career, Mayol tried to answer the question of whether man had a hidden aquatic potential that could be evoked by rigorous physiological and psychological training.

The Big Blue (1988)

Dir. Luc Besson

Very loosely inspired by true events, Luc Besson’s “Cinéma Du Look” picture The Big Blue follows two childhood friends and rivals Enzo Maiorca (Jean Reno) and “Dolphin Man” Jacques Mayol (Jean-Marc Barr) as their passion for free-diving pushes them to dangerous new depths.

I had been meaning to watch this film for a very long time, having been exposed to its lush soundtrack, but had been put off by the long run time. This anticipation had found me expecting something altogether different but I was surprised perhaps due to not having really seen much of Luc Besson’s other work.

It is a super extravagant movie and all the more enjoyable for its over the top approach to cinema. It is all the same kind of minimal and languid in its story telling, and runs the gambit from comical (especially in the very enjoyable early scenes with Enzo and his fiat) to artsy-philosophy with many detours. It’s a strange little film with massive scope, trademark brilliant visuals and whilst it is certainly style over substance and incredibly eclectic in mood it has a very immersive quality which really pulls you into its oceanic setting if not its characters.
