Within the past year, PBS has broadcast "Diva" twice, the first time dubbed,
the second with subtitles.  This is a warning that the dubbed version is
*TERRIBLE*, in my humble opinion.  I felt like half of the movie was missing.
A scene would come up where I remembered the French lines, and the dubbed
English would be completely different.  And some things just weren't
translatable, e.g., where the Vietnamese girl is telling Jules the story
while he is about to get offed by Cure'.  Anyway, I advise not watching the
dubbed version.
