Un film étrange et beau. Réalisation magnifique et parfois psychédélique, musique captivante et un jeu d’acteur convaincant.

The photography has delicate and beautiful moments, the friendship/rivalry is touching, but the romance didn’t make too much sense to me.

Un grand film qui instaure une ambiance unique à travers ses personnages et l'univers de la plongée et de l'apnée.

I think it is a deep reflection about the surrendering of materialism and the spiritual ascension. Research Hawkins Calibration List.
