French, English subtitles
A Parisian postman (Fredric Andrei) makes an unauthorised bootleg of an American opera singer. He must go on the run, pursued by gangsters, cops and underworld music pirates in the streets of Paris.
Crazy motorbike stunts and eccentric characters combine in a visually stunning feast exploring obsession and idealism.
‘It is one of the best thrillers of recent years but, more than that, it is a brilliant film, a visual extravaganza that announces the considerable gifts of its young director, Jean-Jacques Beineix. He has made a film that is about many things, but I think the real subject of “DIVA” is the director’s joy in making it.’ – Roger Ebert
