Trivia
The producers were looking for an actress who fit the description of Cynthia Hawkins (the Diva) in the original novel - a beautiful black American woman who sings a flawless operatic soprano, and speaks both English and French fluently. They attended a performance of Carmen to familiarize themselves with opera performers. Wilhelmenia Fernandez was playing the title role the night they attended the opera.

Errores
During the metro chase, close-ups of Jules shows the collar of a white tee-shirt underneath his buttoned-up shirt. However, in both previous and following scenes, he is without the tee-shirt.

Créditos curiosos
The music continues for a minute and five seconds after the credits end.

Versiones alternativas
Lion's Gate released a DVD (under the "Meridien Collection" banner) with 6' of deleted shots (all extensions of existing scenes) that were intentionally cut in the original by the director before the initial release, with those deleted shots not as bonus material on the DVD but actually edited back into the film, and advertised on the DVD as a "restored version". The resultant timing was 123'. This is not an official version, but an unauthorized re-editing by a DVD company. The correct timing of the film is 117'25".

She's the queen of the night.

I can relate to the star (Frédéric Andréi as Jules) in this film, as i have had a love affair with an opera star. Ever since I heard and saw Julia Migenes in Carmen, I have loved her, but not to the extent that Jules loved Cynthia Hawkins (Wilhelmenia Fernandez).

Jean-Jacques Beineix who won a César for this, his first job as director, really presented two stories. First, the obsession that Jules had for opera and for Cynthia; and a second story of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

This is actually a police drama in the middle of a love story. It will be slow to those who do not like opera as it frames the story. The music is divine as Wilhelmenia Fernandez is truly an artist of note.

A superior French actor, Richard Bohringer, and an enchanting Vietnamese actress, Thuy An Luu, provide support to Jules as he evades capture by those who want a pirated tape of Cynthia's concert that he made, and another group that wants a tape that fell into his lap that revels the head of a prostitution ring between Africa and Paris.

He is just trying to spend time with Cynthis, but wherever he turns, someone is waiting.

All's well that ends well, and this ends well, but how it gets there is suspenseful and full of twists and turns.
