Additional InformationJean-Jacques Beineix's debut film is a stylish, hilarious, and audacious thriller that had many critics comparing Beineix's innovative technique to that of Orson Welles at the time of the film's release. DIVA stars Frederic Andrei as Jules, a young Parisian messenger who is obsessed with a beautiful American opera singer who refuses to make recording of her performances. Determined to capture her voice on tape, Jules manages to make an excellent recording of her which is promptly stolen from him and replaced with a tape that incriminates a French politician, causing Jules to become of a pair of French hitmen. Featuring a quirky sense of humor, enormous visual style, wonderful music, and an unforgettable subway motorcycle chase scene, DIVA is among the best and most influential films of the 1980s.
The DVD was sealed which was noted and it played perfectly and so was finally able to watch the film without subtitles as I'm learning French at Nat 5 level currently. It was the piano music I really appreciate and wanted to see how it fitted in with the film and it worked really well in my opinion.
