New on Blu-ray & 4K Ultra HD: DIVA (1981) - French Thriller Directed by Jean-Jacques Beineix

Product Description: Director Jean-Jacques Beineix (Betty Blue) launched the Cinema Du Look movement with this stylish cult thriller that remains as innovative today as when it premiered in 1981. Jules (Frédéric Andréi), a young postal carrier, illegally tapes a concert of a reclusive opera singer (American soprano Wilhelmina Wiggins Fernandez). Jules' attempts to woo the diva are interrupted when Taiwanese bootleggers come after the recording. His problems worsen when a prostitute slips another tape, one that incriminates a police chief, into his bag. Now, Jules must escape the police chief, the cop's henchmen and the bootleggers to keep both precious tapes safe - and to stay alive. Featuring critically acclaimed cinematography by Philippe Rousselot (Henry & June) and a celebrated chase through the Paris Metro, Diva earned Cesar Awards for Best Music, Best Cinematography and Best Directorial Debut. Featuring a rousing score by Valdimir Cosma (Le Bal) and early appearance by Jean-Pierre Jeunet (Amélie) favorite Dominique Pinon (Delicatessen, The City of Lost Children).
