This is the second time I've seen this movie, and it was just as good the second time. For me, this movie is represented by Jean-Do's relationship with his girlfriend, ex-wife, father, and son. There is an emotional punch in these relationships that are the real effect of the movie. The circumstances and development of these relationships then mirror his diving bell trap of a body.
I have to admit I was so overwhelmed and awed the first time I saw this film by the point of view shots from Jean-Do. This wasn't as true the second time, but it was almost just as interesting. It was not as shocking so I could pay more attention to the different things the camera does to create this perspective.
This perspective is crucial idea of Jean-Do being trapped in his body. Without it the film doesn't work because the audience gets no sense of the diving bell that is being created. This perspective along with the work that is done in building his relationships help make this film unique in it's ability to captive visually as well as emotionally.
