And if you rediscover the legendary soundtrack of Le Grand Bleu, signed Eric Serra, on the occasion of the release of a collector's box set? The film directed by Luc Besson marked a whole generation when it was released in theaters in 1988. A considerable public success since the film had attracted more than 9 million spectators in France, and knew a worldwide craze, opening wide the doors of United States to its director.
But the story of the two freedivers, Jacques Mayol, interpreted by Jean-Marc Barr, and Enzo Molinari (Jean Reno) would be nothing without the unforgettable music of Eric Serra, rewarded in 1989 by the César for the best original music, as well a Victoire de la Musique and the Grand Prize for audio-visual production of SACEM. To date, the film's soundtrack has sold over 4 million copies worldwide, and remains the best-selling French film soundtrack of all time.
Available on Friday 6 March, this exceptional collector's box - in partnership with Europe 1 - allows you to (re) discover this major score by Eric Serra. This box set includes 3 vinyls, a double CD, the DVD of the film and an exclusive interview with the composer. This exceptional outing will be accompanied by a cine-concert tour (projection accompanied by live musicians) in all the Zeniths of France from March, after two already full dates at La Seine Musicale in Paris.
