Diva
Dir: Jean-Jacques Beineix, 1981, France (9*)
This crime action film centers around an admiring opera fan who secretly records his favorite opera diva (who has refused to ever record) on a hidden, high quality recorder, thus making the rare tape a valuable item. Various criminal elements find out, and suddenly the young fan is the most wanted man in Europe, chased by gangsters and the police both. This is a very exciting action film, perhaps modern film noir, with great camera work and direction.
