Deep Blue

2003 · 83 min · Director: Andy Byatt, Alastair Fothergill

Deep Blue (2003) is a documentary, directed by Andy Byatt and Alastair Fothergill. It stars Michael Gambon and David Attenborough. The 83-minute film holds an audience score of 6.9/10.

What Deep Blue Is About

The documentary travels the oceans from the surface to the deepest points: shoals of fish, whales, penguins, the strange animals living where the sun does not reach. Something neither summary says: it was not shot from scratch but re-edited for cinema from the footage of the BBC series The Blue Planet, with a new score written for it. It is trying to be watched rather than to inform, so there is very little narration. Different countries had different narrators, which is why the cast list looks confused. Eighty-three minutes, made for a large screen.
