New 4K Restoration!

Beineix’s (Betty Blue) legendarily stylish thriller returns to the big screen in a sparkling new restoration, looking and sounding better than ever. In Paris, music lover Jules finds himself on the run from every conceivable pursuer—from drug dealers and music pirates to the cops—after obtaining a recording of the woman of his dreams, a never-before-taped opera star.

“It’s about the joy of making movies…every shot seems designed to delight the audience.” – Pauline Kael, The New Yorker
