Action, arias, and assassins all collide in Diva, a romantic thriller directed by
Jean-Jacques Beineix. When Jules, an 18-year-old postal worker, bootlegs the
concert of a superstar diva, he finds himself with more than he bargained for.
His tape is mixed up with one that identifies a top mobster involved in an
international sex and drug ring, and suddenly blackmailers, hitmen, and the
police are chasing him through the streets of Paris. Sumptuous
cinematography compliments the brilliant soundtrack of Beineix's
underground classic.
Criterion proudly presents Diva in a first-ever widescreen transfer. This new
digital transfer was created from a pristine 35mm low contrast print and the 16mm
magnetic audio soundtrack.
