DIVA (1987)

Jules is a young courier obsessed with an opera singer who objects to her voice being recorded. He manages to make a bootleg tape of her singing live, but when it gets mistaken for a tape containing vital evidence about a human trafficking investigation, he is chased by men who will do anything to retrieve it. Stylish and visually ravishing – arguably to a fault.

Directed by Jean-Jacques Beineix with
Frederic Andrei, Roland Bertin, Richard Bohringer and Gerard Darmon

3 COLOURS: RED (1994)

The third and final part of the trilogy of (stand-alone) films inspired by the symbolism of the French tricolour. It begins with a misplaced telephone call and ends with a shipping disaster and plays skilfully with the idea of random contact at all points in between. Exquisitely shot, superbly acted and deftly written, it is easily one of the most watchable arthouse films of the nineties.

Directed by Krzysztof Kieslowski, with Irene Jacob, Jean-Louis Trintignant and
Jean-Pierre Lorit

HIS GIRL FRIDAY (1940)

Often cited as the greatest screwball comedy ever made, it features Cary Grant as a conniving newspaper editor who will do anything to get his ex-wife and star reporter (Rosalind Russell) back on the job. Howard Hawks’ remake of Lewis Milestone’s The Front Page is not only hilarious, but astonishingly fast-talking. The dialogue has been estimated at 250 words per minute against an industry average of 100-150 words.

Directed by Howard Hawks, with Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell
