irma vep (1996)


"You are mysterious like Irma Vep. You are beautiful like Irma Vep. You have magic like her."
This deconstruction of the film making process sees Chinese movie actress Maggie Cheung arrive in France to star in a remake of the French silent classic 'Les Vampires'. She soon finds herself caught in the middle of the films politics, ego's and intrigues. Whilst the director René Vidal (Jean-Pierre Léaud), struggles to get the film made.
An interesting take on French new wave, that goes nowhere, is a fun journey.
