Diva
Brilliant. A visual extravaganza.
-- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Diva
Jules (Frédéric Andréi) goes on the run from every conceivable pursuer - from drug dealers and music pirates to the cops - after obtaining a recording of the woman of his dreams, the never-recorded opera star Cynthia Hawkins (Wilhelmenia Wiggins Fernandez).
“A piece of divine madness, full of comedy romance, opera and murder. Diva is a thriller with a new way of looking at the world — through a glass, brightly.” – Michael Sragow, Rolling Stone
“Diva is not only the most purely pleasurable movie to open here this year, but surely one of the finest films to arrive from France in a decade.” – J. Hoberman, The Village Voice
“A visual extravaganza. One of the most persistently entertaining, absorbing and scary thrillers I’ve seen in a long time…Diva’s chase scene deserves ranking with the all-time classics, Raiders of the Lost Ark, The French Connection, and Bullitt.” – Roger Ebert
