IRMA VEP (1996)
dir. Olivier Assayas
Knowing that his glory days are far behind him, the hopeless French director, René Vidal, enlists the help of Hong Kong actress, Maggie Cheung, to save his doomed take on Louis Feuillade's classic silent-era film serial, Les vampires (1915). Cast as Irma Vep, the sleek, latex-clad cat burglar with a strange name, Maggie turns up in Paris without speaking a word of French, bent on giving her all. However, amid catastrophic screenings of daily rushes, intense sexual objectification on the set, unrequited loves, and mysterious dreams, more and more, Maggie becomes obsessed with her character. But, the question remains. Can they finish the film?
