Description

France | 1996 | col | 97 mins | dir. Olivier Assayas, with Maggie Cheung, Jean-Pierre Léaud | cert. 15
This witty satire on film-making features Léaud as a washed-up auteur determined to remake Feuillade's silent classic Les Vampires in his own personal style. Hong-Kong superstar Cheung plays the film-within-the-film's heroine, Irma Vep (an anagram for vampire), a burglar who spends most of the film dressed in a tight, black, latex rubber catsuit, defending her director's odd choices to hostile crew members and journalists.
