Story Synopsis

When Jules (Andrei), a young mailman obsessed with American soprano Cynthia Hawkins (Fernandez), bootlegs her performance, he finds himself caught in a mysterious and dangerous crime ring. Two men want the tape—valuable because the diva forbids her concerts to be recorded—but when the tape gets mixed up with one that reveals the identity of a top mobster involved in an international sex and drug ring, suddenly Jules is wanted by the police and sinister hitmen. Diva is a critically acclaimed and thrilling masterpiece by then debut filmmaker Jean-Jacques Beineix.
