A topsy-turvy wonderland of stylistic riffs and thematic threads reverberating back on themselves for the sheer, exuberant, sexy hell of it.

East Bay Express
[E]verything once new about DIVA seems new again. And the mechanics of Beineix's artistic audacity only become clearer. -- Grade: A
Entertainment Weekly
3 stars out of 5 -- DIVA kickstarted French cinema in the '80s....A postmodern blend of all-consuming Oedipal love and Hitchcockian crime thriller...
Total Film
Rating: 2.5/4 --
As with so many pop moments a quarter-century on, what once looked sexy now smells a little sexist.

Boston Globe
Diva is a cinematic textbook on style. It comments on so many facets of the daily contemporary culture -- and of film -- that it seems to be an inspired shorthand.

Boston Globe
Diva, as a lifestyle, a fantasy, a model for alienation and solipsism and eccentricity, has gone deep into all of us.

Product Description:
This vibrant mash-up of genres from French director Jean-Jacques Beineix is regarded by many as the vanguard of the stylish Cinema De Look movement. After a young postal worker illegally tapes a performance by a reclusive opera singer, it isn't long before Taiwanese bootleggers, a prostitute, a video-incriminated police chief, and the cop's henchman are hot on his tail. DIVA won Cesar Awards for Best Music, Best Directorial Debut, and for its widely acclaimed cinematography.
