About

Acclaimed French filmmaker Jean-Jacques Beineix (Betty Blue) set the international cinema scene abuzz with his debut feature, an innovative cult thriller about a hapless messenger surviving a farrago of missteps and misadventure over his obsession for a beautiful American opera singer.

When young messenger Jules (Frederic Andrei) makes an illegal recording of a famed opera singer's live performance, he becomes inveigled in a madcap chase pursued by a gang of Taiwanese music pirates and mistaken by a team of ruthless assassins as his life is turned upside down by the thrills and spills of the unpredictable and unforgettable Parisian underworld.

An ingenious mix of comedy, romance and action Diva is considered one of the most influential thrillers of the last twenty years, a pivotal film that helped launch the Cinema Du Look movement and announce Beineix as a bold new talent in world cinema.

‘Noir thriller, or operatic fantasy – critics were unable to define Jean Jacques Benix’s (Betty Blue) colourful and ultra stylish debut feature on first release. It quickly became an era defining entry in the Cinema du look era of 1980s French cinema.’ George Cromack

‘An exhilarating film made for no better purpose than to surprise and fascinate.’ Roger Ebert.com

Contains moderate nudity and violence.
