CLOSED – Win DIVA On 4K UHD!!!
STUDIOCANAL will release a stunning new 4K restoration of 1981 French neo-noir cult hit DIVA – the audacious debut feature and visual masterpiece from visionary director Jean-Jacques Beineix (Betty Blue). Arriving on Blu-Ray and 4K UHD for the first time as part of the Vintage World Cinema collection, this highly stylised, high art work became a hugely influential landmark film in modern French cinema, lighting the fuse on the Cinéma du look movement in France in the 1980s. Winner of four César Awards, including Best Debut & Best Cinematography (Philippe Rousselot), DIVA is a haunting tale of obsession and beauty which boasts unforgettable imagery alongside a truly atmospheric score. Adapted from the 1979 crime novel of the same name by Daniel Odier aka Delacorta, the film stars Frédéric Andréi (Paris Minuit) as the enigmatic postman Jules, opposite real-life opera soprano Wilhelmenia Wiggins Fernandez as the eponymous diva herself. A hidden gem for true cinephiles, pre-order your copy of this foreign language must-see on UHD or Blu-Ray now.
This new 4K restoration of DIVA was produced from the original 35mm negative and the sound negative. Scanned in 4K by TransPerfect Media, the image was then digitally graded and cleaned to remove imperfections from the original elements. This project was carried out by the Studiocanal team, Sophie Boyer and Jean-Pierre Boiget—restoration and digitisation with the support of the CNC. A new trailer has also been created to mark the release.
