Film Description

A stylish, fast moving and very hip thriller in which a courier who records an opera singer who only sings live soon has to contend - thanks to swapped cassette tapes - with drug smuggling scams, corrupt policemen and murder. Violently surreal and always a feast for the eyes. Richard Bohringer plays the very cool philosopher, Serge Gorodish.

Review by Tom on 19th July 1999

Beineix is a genius, pure and simple, and any of his detractors need only see this film as a reminder why. Perfectly filmed, with every frame a work of art and a stunning sountrack to boot, Diva should be owned by everyone, particularly as it is now the ONLY Beineix film available in this country. Fortunately, I own them all anyway, so I can afford to be smug and watch Betty Blue - Version Integrale!
