Diva movie poster.

Movie (1981)
English title : La Diva

Starring:
Frédéric Andrei (Jules)
Wilhelmenia Wiggins Fernandez (Cynthia Hawkins)
Richard Bohringer (Gorodish)
Thuy An Luu (Alba)

A young Parisian postman, Jules, is obsessed with opera, and particularly with Cynthia Hawkins, a beautiful and celebrated American soprano who has never allowed her singing to be recorded. He illicitly makes a high-quality bootleg recording of her performance. For his misfortune and by chance, a prostitute slips in his bag an audio cassette denouncing embezzlement and trafficking. This is just the first step of his nightmare as the Police and some mobsters threaten him. How his old -and new- friends could help him without being endangered ?
Nota : all the screenshots are from the apartment of 'Mermoz' (nickname of Jules' friend performed by Jean-Luc Porraz).
