The Meridian Collection premieres with "Diva", the film that launched Cinema du Look and garnered critical acclaim for its visual style. Director Jean-Jacques Beineix launched the Cinema Du Look movement with this stylish cult thriller that remains as innovative today as when it premiered in 1981. Jules (Frederic Andrei), a young postal carrier, illegally tapes a concert of a reclusive opera singer (American soprano Wilhelmena Wiggins Fernandez). Jules' attempts to woo the diva are interrupted when Taiwanese bootleggers come after the recording. His problems become worse when a prostitute slips another tape, one that incriminates a police chief, into his bag. Jules must escape the police chief, the cop's henchmen and the bootleggers to keep both precious tapes safe and to stay alive. Featuring critically acclaimed cinematography and a celebrated chase through the Paris Metro, "Diva" earned Cesar Awards for Best Music, Best Cinematography and Best Directorial Debut.
