Diva

Diva 1981 Director Jean-Jacques Beineix

Two tapes, two Parisian mob killers, one corrupt policeman, an opera fan, a teenage thief, and the coolest philosopher ever filmed. All these characters twist their way through an intricate and stylish Beineix film.

When young postman makes pirate recording of an American opera singer, he becomes the target of Malaysian music pirates. But when that tape becomes confused with a cassette of murder evidence, he also finds himself hunted by a team of ruthless killers. This is an unforgettable journey into the Parisian underworld of teenage shoplifting, exquisite opera and odd philosophy.
