1948. Jacques-Yves Cousteau, sa femme et ses deux fils, vivent au paradis, dans une jolie maison surplombant la mer Méditerranée. Mais Cousteau ne rêve que d'aventure. Grâce à son invention, un scaphandre autonome qui permet de respirer sous l'eau, il a découvert un nouveau monde. Désormais, ce monde, il veut l'explorer. Et pour ça, il est prêt à tout sacrifier.

The premise to this story is so long that it could be put into two book sagas. But once the story started, I got lost. I got lost in the story which could have been interesting but unfortunately was unbelievable boring. Thanks God for the beautiful undersea shots, which made me hold my breath with wonder. So overall it was worth to watch this movie, but I expected more.

A barren family drama, but a really nice hanger for paintings. A neatly spruced up biography of a troubled and fascinating man who never dives completely alive above the surface, but moves beneath it exactly as elegantly as Jacques demanded of his divers. By far the most interesting character and acting performance goes to Simone Audrey Tautou. She deserves even more screen time. I consider Sall's film more as a time-relevant reminder of a family that has done quite a major piece of work for our understanding of the Earth. Otherwise, Odyssey is more of an example of overly reverent and non-conflicting filmmaking, which is nice to look at. [70%]
