Landmark’s Shattuck Cinemas – 2230 Shattuck Ave., Berkeley, (510) 464-5980 DIVA, the sensational debut of director Jean-Jacques Beineix and the film that launched a second new wave of French cinema, is now shown in a new 35mm print – the first since its original U.S. release 25 years ago – and with a new translation that fully captures the film’s irreverent wit. Longtime assistant director Beineix’s debut was an international arthouse sensation, playing for over a year in some cinemas, nabbing four French Césars (including Best First Film and Philippe Rousselot’s cinematography), and single-handedly launching the cinéma du look, an explosion of visually stunning, punk-inspired, super-cool French movies in the early 80s. “Terrific… One of the most persistently entertaining, absorbing and scary thrillers I’ve seen in a long time.” - Roger Ebert |
