Cheap Diva

A wildly colorful and complex French thriller from director/co-scripter Jean-Jacques Beineix whose marvelously convoluted plot involves a young Paris mail carrier obsessed with an opera star who refuses to make records, a tape spelling out police corruption, Taiwanese mobsters, New Wave assassins, and a wild chase through the Paris Metro. Frederic Andrei, Richard Bohringer, Gerard Darmon, and Wilhelmenia Wiggins Fernandez star. 117 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: French Dolby Digital mono; Subtitles: English; audio commentary, featurettes; theatrical trailer. In French with English subtitles.
