Diva (1981)
3/10
Diva Is A Disappointment
17 September 2007
Wow, I was sucked into renting another lemon of a film by reviews which just raved about the great visuals and style in here. Well, in 1981 when this came out maybe it was noteworthy but I've seen hundreds and hundreds and films that looked a whole lot prettier, stylish and well-photographed than this one. Philippe Rousselot is one of my favorite cinematographers and a big reason I rented this movie. This was his first film. Well, he's done a lot better since and, since most people agree the story in here is not much, it makes the whole experience NOT worth your time and expense. Skip it.

The characters are stupid and their dialog will insult your intelligence. The main characters say and do things that will leave you shaking your head. It's almost like this was a lame effort at comedy.

By a third of the way through the film, most of you will have lost your interest in any of these people and their inane dialog. Don't listen to the elitist critics who think anything European must be good.
