A young man secretly records a renowned diva during her performance, despite her wishes to never be recorded.
I remember when this first came out. I think Siskel and Ebert reviewed it and gave it thumbs up. But to me it sounded like such a simple story.
Anyway, realizing recently that this was directed by Beineix, who impressed the hell out of me with Betty Blue, I decided to give it a try.
Well, that secret recording is just one little part of a complex plot, and this is actually a very satisfying thriller.
Recommended for those who hate French films and you know who you are, buggo.
