Diva - Reaction
[France]
An okay detective movie involving the opera, an obsessed (yet lovable) fan, a prostitution ring, and two cassette tapes. Timeless in the sense that I watched it not realizing it was made decades ago (1981). But plot holes abounded (e.g., how did the taiwanese find out about the bootleg recording; why was the old white guy so good at spy-type stuff) and these really bothered me.

It's famous for being a part of the cinema-du-look genre, where the movie looks like glossies on a magazine.
The reference to Marilyn Monroe's skirt flipping scene in the Seven Year's Itch (when two men meet inside an underground tunnel to talk whilst a draft near the tunnel grating flips the skirt of a woman walking over it) is also pretty fun. :)
