Group of Three Gelatin Silver Prints Studio Issued (8x10) Very Fine

United Artists Original U.S. Gelatin Silver Prints, a group of three individual photos, for the the Jean-Jacques Beineix directed mystery DIVA (1982). The film stars Wilhemenia Fernandez, Frederic Andrei, and Richard Bohringer. It's a somewhat complicated, nuanced movie directed by Jean-Jacques Beineix which has become over the decades a true cult classic. The film follows the troubles of a young postman who loves classical music and is obsessed with an American opera singer, Cynthia Hawkins. Hawkins' career is enhanced somewhat by the fact that she has never been recorded. So the young postman takes a small Nagra tape recorder to a recital, where he makes a bootleg recording. This is when the film takes a distinct noirish turn involving blackmail, gangsters, the police, and friends-to-the-rescue. The movie was initially not a success, but its audience grew over a period of months and extended to the United States where the grosses topped 2.5 million dollars. MovieArt Original Film Posters in Austin, Texas guarantees that these photographs are authentic, theatrical-release studio photos.
