AFS Lates: 'Diva' in 35mm

DIVA is a thrilling chase to the heights of cinematic beauty on full throttle. An opera-obsessed young man who grabs the wrong audio-cassette finds himself on a hyper-stylized, neon dipped odyssey through a Parisian world of trouble. With the help of a mysterious duo — dodging bootleggers, punk henchmen, and police – can he recapture the voice of the DIVA? From director Jean-Jacques Beineix (BETTY BLUE) comes the cult masterpiece which launched the Cinema Du Look movement. An exhilarating ode to the romance and ecstasy of cinema — DIVA is mystery and pulp as pure visual extravaganza.
