Diva
Jean-Jacques Beineix's debut film is a stylish, hilarious, and audacious thriller that had many critics comparing Beineix's innovative technique to that of Orson Welles at the time of the film's release. DIVA stars Frederic Andrei as Jules, a young Parisian messenger who is obsessed with a beautiful American opera singer who refuses to make recording of her performances. Determined to capture her voice on tape, Jules manages to make an excellent recording of her which is promptly stolen from him and replaced with a tape that incriminates a French politician, causing Jules to become of a pair of French hitmen. Featuring a quirky sense of humor, enormous visual style, wonderful music, and an unforgettable subway motorcycle chase scene, DIVA is among the best and most influential films of the 1980s.

Must-see art thriller movie
Great film, clever plot, good actors, great music, and the atmosphere of 1980s Paris captured beautifully. It's a great artsy thriller.
