They are joined on their voyage by a young airline co-pilot who may or may not be Zissou's son (Owen Wilson), a beautiful journalist (Cate Blanchett) assigned to write a profile of Zissou, and his estranged wife and co-producer, Eleanor (Anjelica Huston). They face overwhelming complications including pirates, kidnapping, and bankruptcy. Review: Funny and surreal- warms the cockles - I have to say i'm bemused as to why people would label a film such as this as 'pretentious' because it clearly doesn't take itself seriously at all; it doesn't purport to be anything it isn't, this film will bring a laugh and a smile and warm your heart like many of Wes Anderson's films. I mean, come on; Bill Murray and his haphazard crew of weirdos armed to the teeth storming that island? This is a fun film and people who dismiss it as pretentious obviously don't really know the true meaning of the word. This movie details the adventures of fallen from grace eccentric oceanographer and documentarian Steve Zissou (Bill Murray). While working on his previous documentary, his best friend Esteban du Plantier (Seymour Cassel) was eaten by an animal Zissou describes as a "Jaguar shark". For his next project, Zissou is determined to document the destruction of the creature. Zissou's crew aboard his research vessel Belafonte includes Pelé dos Santos (Seu Jorge), a safety expert and Brazilian musician who sings David Bowie songs in Portuguese; Klaus Daimler (Willem Dafoe), a lovable German second-in-command who views Zissou and Esteban as father figures and feels threatened by Zissou's possible son, Ned Plimpton (Owen Wilson). Zizzou is world famous and used to be an icon to kids who joined his fan club and followed his adventures in his documentaries. He is facing the prospect of being washed up, past his best and no longer relevant; finding the jaguar shark gives him a new sense of purpose, it is the only way he can validate his life, be remembered and show that his life still has meaning. The performances, particularly from Murray and Wilson, are wonderful and they are supported by a fantastic cast making up Zizzou's bizzare crew. Watch out for a delightful role for Jeff Goldblum as Zizzou's rival! Here we follow Zizzou's bizzare quest to wreak revenge on the giant shark that killed his friend- the plot moves in squiggly lines and toys with the surreal but it's funny and often touching; I enjoyed it very much. Review: Strong characters, quirky, beautiful cinematography, sharp script. - You either like or dislike Wes Anderson films and you either like or dislike Bill Murray's quirky acting style. For me, I love both. I love the very stylised, eccentric worlds that Wes Anderson creates, with vivid colours, great camera angles and sharp scripts. I love Bill Murray's quick humour, his little asides, his mannerisms and his characters offbeat personalities. All that aside, this is a film with love at its heart, for the subject they honour in Jacques Cousteau. If you enjoy all of the above in a film, or you're just keen to try something different, hit the play button on this. In my humble view, it's one of the best films of the century so far. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00IGK6TLA | | Actors | Anjelica Huston, Bill Murray, Cate Blanchett, Noah Taylor, Owen Wilson | | Aspect Ratio | Unknown | | Best Sellers Rank | 31,448 in DVD & Blu-ray ( See Top 100 in DVD & Blu-ray ) 5,379 in Comedy (DVD & Blu-ray) 11,439 in Blu-ray | | Country of origin | USA | | Customer reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (2,826) | | Director | Wes Anderson | | Is discontinued by manufacturer | No | | Item model number | 28934682 | | Language | English | | Media Format | Blu-ray | | Number of discs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 1.78 x 19.05 x 13.72 cm; 0.28 g | | Release date | 27 May 2014 | | Run time | 1 hour and 58 minutes | | Studio | Criterion Collection (Direct) | | Subtitles: | English | ## Product Details - **Format:** Blu-ray - **Genre:** comedy - **Language:** English - **Runtime:** 1 hour and 58 minutes ## Images ![Criterion Collection: The Life Aquatic [Blu-ray] [2004] [US Import] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81QeFH4r9vL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Funny and surreal- warms the cockles *by B***Y on 2 July 2010* I have to say i'm bemused as to why people would label a film such as this as 'pretentious' because it clearly doesn't take itself seriously at all; it doesn't purport to be anything it isn't, this film will bring a laugh and a smile and warm your heart like many of Wes Anderson's films.

In my humble view, it's one of the best films of the century so far. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great bluray of a good film (if not the director's best) *by J***N on 21 March 2019* A spotter, less coherent experience than Tenenbaums or any of Anderson's later works, but definitely not terrible either. I particularly enjoyed Willem Dafoe's character and the wonderful performances of Portuguese musician Seu Jorge (a full set of recordings of him covering Bowie songs is featured in the extras). The Criterion Bluray features a crystal sharp image, rich colours, and a detailed and clear soundtrack. You also get a slew of extras including documentaries, cast and crew interviews, and storyboards and photos. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.mx/products/520298564-criterion-collection-the-life-aquatic-blu-ray-2004-us-import](https://www.desertcart.mx/products/520298564-criterion-collection-the-life-aquatic-blu-ray-2004-us-import) --- *Product available on Desertcart Mexico* *Store origin: MX* *Last updated: 2026-05-28*
