Η ντίβα δράσης του Χονγκ Κονγκ, Maggie Cheung (που υποδύεται τον εαυτό της) έρχεται στη Γαλλία όταν ένας πρώην σκηνοθέτης της αναθέτει σε ένα ριμέικ του βουβού κλασικού Les Vampires.

A satire on the filmmaking process and how misguided the film industry is, touching upon tentpole films and pointless remakes, female sexualization/male gaze, and the idea that many filmmakers make films out of their own selfish desires instead of making them for people to resonate with, to be challenged, or for artists to truly express themselves.That said, it never once feels condescending and instead comes purely from a place of love and passion for cinema, and it’s all further elevated by wonderful work from Maggie Cheung (playing herself) and Olivier Assayas’s direction.A must see for any film lover.

A struggling French director casts a Hong Kong action star as the lead in a remake of a silent serial, leading to a chaotic production plagued by artistic differences and personal obsession.
Olivier Assayas directed Irma Vep in 1996, a French filmmaker known for his contributions to the post-New Wave landscape.
The film depicts the production of a remake of the classic French serial Les Vampires, but the film itself is an original satire about the filmmaking process.
The film features a distinctive use of music, most notably incorporating tracks by the alternative rock band Sonic Youth.
