Storyline
| Plot Summary |
From 1949 to 1979, thirty years in the life of captain Jacques-Yves Cousteau, the famous researcher, scientist, inventor, filmmaker whose greatest achievement is to have made the general public more curious - and accordingly closer - to the sea. A genius, a leader of men and a charismatic opinion maker, Cousteau was not without defects, his being unfaithful to ever-supportive wife Simone for example or else his vainglory..., but let him who is without sin cast the first stone. The spectator leaves Cousteau in mid-1979 at the worst time of his life: his favorite son, Philippe, has just died in the crash of a plane he was piloting. The dashing conqueror of the sea has suddenly become a broken old man, tempted to discouragement but his eldest son Jean-Michel is by his side to help him overcome his grief and go on with his mission...

Did You Know?
| Trivia | The following statement is displayed during the closing credits (version shown here is the English subtitle translation as it appears onscreen): "The film is based on well-known elements from the biography of Jacques-Yves Cousteau which are public knowledge. The screenplay was freely inspired on "My Father, the Captain" by Jean-Michel Cousteau and "Capitaine de la Calypso" by Albert Falco and Yves Paccalet. Jerôme Salle carried out in-depth research and gathered numerous testimonies, namely from former Cousteau crew members, to write the screenplay and prepare the film. The film focuses on Cousteau's first family." See more » |
| Goofs | There are two aerial shots - near start and finish of the film - of the Consolidated PBY Catalina flying-boat during which its reflection (or shadow, it's not clear which it's supposed to be as it looks so odd) is prominent on the water surface below. In both cases, the reflection/shadow is very obviously completely fake. See more » |

| Quotes |
Jacques-Yves Cousteau:
With this equipment we can breathe underwater, free as a fish without effort. Thanks to this invention, man can live up to his century-old dream. Fly. Because once underwater, you're totally weightless. From above, you have your beautiful sunlight and you are getting dark blue. You swim between those two worlds, far from the people, the noise, silent. And the sea... The sea surrounds you, carries you... See more » |
