UK Import. Blu-Ray disc is Region B locked, will only play on All Region Blu-Ray players.

Jean-Jacques Beineix's wonderfully stylish thriller was largely responsible for the renaissance of foreign language film in the UK in the early 80s.

The story of Jules (Andréi), an opera-obsessed courier whose bootleg recording of a rare concert by American diva Cynthia Hawkins (Wiggins Fernandez) is believed to be a tape connecting the chief of police with a Parisian vice ring, precipitating a frantic search for its whereabouts by two murderous thugs (Dominique Pinon and Gérard Darmon).

DIVA marks Beineix's debut from the impressively taut novel by Delacorta creating a hybrid of genres: noir, new wave, and fairytale romance.
