International Classics
Irma Vep
Hosted by Fred Craden

Olivier Assayas’s live-wire international breakthrough stars a magnetic Maggie Cheung as a version of herself: a Hong Kong action-movie star who arrives in Paris to play the lead in a remake of Louis Feuillade’s classic crime serial Les vampires. What she finds is a tangle of barely controlled chaos as egos clash, attractions simmer, and an obsessive director (Jean-Pierre Léaud) drives himself to the brink to realize his vision. Blending blasts of silent cinema, martial-arts flicks, and the music of Sonic Youth and Luna into a hallucinatory swirl of postmodern cool.
