Another film so soon?  Yes we shall be screening DIVA on 26th November at 2pm, the last one of the year.  

The film is a classic from 1981 and is described as a witty, playful and intelligent film and also stylish and visually ravishing. It was also a Bafta award nominee. The runtime is 1 hr 53 mins.

The title is as follows:

A wonderful combination of many genres - Action / Drama / Mystery / Romance / Thriller / Music/Art, this tale of two tapes may actually change the way you think about opera.
Wilhelmenia Fernandez as Cynthia Hawkins (Diva) who always refused to be recorded - is a revelation; her voice, a magic mixture of melted pure gold and crystal is a miracle.
There is so much more in this absolutely unique film - just to mention a certain shoplifting technique, or the coolest chase which started in the streets of Paris and ended in the subway's car.

Hope to see you on the 26th.

Best wishes
