Film Review
Luc Besson’s ode to the beauty of the marine world is as captivating and poetic as anything
produced by the famous marine explorer Jacques Cousteau. Although the film does
resort occasionally to using captions to assign meaning to its various segments (probably
a mistake), this is not a straight-forward documentary. Its non-didactic, free-flowing
form is both alluring and pleasurable to watch, albeit a little too self-conscious.
Since his early childhood, Besson has nurtured a passion for the sea and marine life. This is something he was able to draw on in his earlier film, Le Grand Bleu, but it is only in Atlantis that you begin to appreciate his love for the sea. With some beautiful photography, this is a film that manages to capture the uncompromising beauty of a world which we mere humans can only marvel at. © James Travers 2001 Write a review for this film...
