Director Jean-Jacques Beineix (Betty Blue) launched the Cinema du look movement with this stylish cult thriller that remains as innovative today as when it premiered in 1981. Jules (Frederic Andrei), a young postal carrier, illegally tapes a concert of a reclusive opera singer (American soprano Wilhelmenia Wiggins Fernandez). Jules" attempts to woo the diva are interrupted when Taiwanese bootleggers come after the recording. His problems worsen when a prostitute slips another tape, one that incriminates a police chief, into his bag. Now, Jules must escape the police chief, the cop"s henchmen and the bootleggers to keep both precious tapes safe-and to stay alive. Featuring a celebrated chase through the Paris Metro and an early appearance by Jean-Pierre Jeunet (Amelie) favorite Dominique Pinon, Diva earned Cesar Awards for Beineix, Vladimir Cosma"s (Le Bal) sumptuous music and Philippe Rousselot"s (Henry & June) eye-popping cinematography.
