Phil Bacharach DVD Review: Diva - The Meridian Collection
Revisiting Diva more than 25 years after that magical viewing, I must admit this French import hasn’t aged nearly as well as most wines from that country. The picture’s Hitchcockian setup and oddball characters still make for breezy fun, but the passage of time has made it fairly obvious that director Jean-Jacques Beineix’s visual sleekness is only a so-so substitute for content.
