BECOMING COUSTEAU

The oceanographer Steve Zissou in Wes Anderson’s LIFE AQUATIC was modeled after him. And with three Oscars and a Palm d’Or to his name, he was also one of the most highly decorated filmmakers of all time: With his films and TV shows Jacques-Yves Cousteau has conveyed the magic of the underwater world to the masses like no other. Renowned documentarian Liz Garbus (LOVE, MARILYN) draws a differentiated portrait of this legendary explorer who also became an environmental activist in the 70s.
