Diva (1981)

A black diva opera singer, a gripping moped chase and an almost Godardian approach to humor and Parisan life make this a thriller like no other.

Daria: Season 3 (1999)

With the exceptions of a fantastical episode inwhich different holiday spirits leave their island and impose themselves on Daria's life, and one that is a musical, every episode in this season is gold.

Cria Cuervos (1976)

In her second acting role, Ana Torrent can't help but be the cutest little girl in the world, even with her creepy fixation on death and attempted murders of both her father and aunt.
