"Diva"

[thoreau]

Tonight I'm watching David's favorite movie, "Diva!" - a 1981 romantic thriller directed by Jean-Jacques Beineix. When 18-year-old Jules secretly tapes the concert of a superstar diva who refuses to be recorded, he accidentally winds up with another tape that identifies a top mobster involved in an international sex and drug ring. Jules is soon being chased through the streets of Paris by blackmailers, hit men and the police.

We'll see how it all turns out!

It comes on cable all the time. A friend of mine recommended it to me.

I think the diva turns out to be his mother and he turns out to be a alien and it is all a dream by Pam Ewing. Or is that my life?

Absolutely one of my favorite films. The aria is wonderful, the action is keen, Paris is lush, and the kid wears the coolest pair of boots. Ah, I wish I could watch it for the first time all over again.

I do remember seeing that one at our local art cinema when it came out...I think about the time I also saw Taxi Zum Clo. Oh, wait...different movie altogether! :-)

It is on cable frequently...I should record it and watch it again. I remember enjoying it 27 years ago.

I saw that when it was in the theaters around DC. Unfortunately, it was subtitled, and I didn't remember until afterwards that the guy I was dating was dyslexic...
