DIVA (1981)

Diva is poetically visual as it displays a cinematically stunning experience, which renders one speechless with its sublime cinematography.  The story begins with a postman, Jules, who is absorbed by opera as he tapes an opera singers performance.  Unknowingly Jules has been observed by two peculiar men followings him in order to try retrieve the recording.  In addition, a woman who is murdered has placed a tape recording in Jules's postman bag, which will add more problems for him.  Diva is a superb cinematic experience that will visually intrigue as much French New Wave did during the 60s and 70s as it often produces new and interesting ways of displaying cinema.
