Bill Murray tackles demons from the deep in quirky comedy The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, which is released on DVD next month. Director Wes Anderson concocts a bizarre tale with a cast of eccentric characters that gently mocks the underwater adventure films of Jacques Cousteau. Pirates, family feuds and a nice line in retro tracksuits all combine to make it one of the best films of the year.
To celebrate its release, and in keeping with the aquatic theme, two lucky people can win a diving course each, run by the Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI), plus a copy of The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. Five runners-up will win a copy of the film on DVD.
