  Jean-Jacques Beineix (Betty Blue) made a catchy debut as a director with this slick, defiantly superficial 1982 movie about a young mail carrier who illegally records a performance by an opera singer, then gets the tape mixed up with evidence that could incriminate gangsters. Wearing flashy commercialism like a badge, Beineix fills the screen with explosions of disposable pop kitsch. Yet he also tells a fairly compelling story in the process, one that only seems to get more interesting the closer one gets to the end. An unusual experience, Diva should be seen also for the influence it had on the look and feel of movies and music videos in the 1980s. --Tom Keogh, Amazon.com

  Based on documents compiled by leading French philosopher Michel Foucault I Pierre Riviere a unique and original film charts the gruesome events which took place in a Normandy village in 1835 when a young man Pierre Riviere murdered his mother sister and brother before fleeing to the countryside. With a cast made up of real-life villagers from the area where the events took place the detailed re-enactments and careful attention to the gestures of their ancestors serve to create an intense and sometimes disturbing atmosphere of hyper-realism. Details of the crime and of the trial that followed are told from varied perspectives including the written confession of Pierre himself and form a rich and complex narrative that interrogates the concepts of 'truth' and 'history'. Radical bold and uncompromising director Rene Allio's extraordinary work is at one and the same time an ethnographic enquiry an historical reconstruction and an unflinching portrait of psychopathology and its aftermath.
