Irma Vep 1996 123movies

Watch: Irma Vep 1996 123movies, Full Movie Online – French filmmaker René Vidal was once a renowned director, but most see his career on a quick downward slide based on his last several films. In Paris, he is just starting to film his latest movie, a remake of Les vampires (1915), and has hired Hong Kong based Chinese actress Maggie Cheung as the title lead, “Irma Vep” (an anagram for “vampire”), despite she knowing no French and she not being an obvious choice to most. Maggie has never worked with Vidal before and knows little about his movies, but many of his primarily French crew are part of his regular stable. As such, Maggie may become isolated among the cast and crew, unless there are those who bring her into their English conversations, they who may have somewhat ulterior motives in doing so. There are also factions within the cast and crew, who, based on their history, have a poisoned sense of what is going on. With Vidal, he is dealing with some personal issues while he tries to regain his film making form. He may transfer his thoughts of Irma Vep to Maggie, who he hired because he too sees her as strong and sexy like the skin-tight latex clad Irma. And Maggie may take her research for the comic bookish character to an extreme..
Plot: Hong Kong action diva Maggie Cheung (playing herself) comes to France when a past-his-prime director casts her in a remake of the silent classic Les Vampires. Clad in a rubber catsuit and unable to speak a word of French, Cheung finds herself adrift in the insanity of the film industry…

Maggie Cheung shines
Maggie Cheung truly dazzles in this movie, delivering a performance that is as natural as it is charming. The rest of the cast is strong too, so much so that it becomes a character study in addition to being a critique of the French film industry at the time. It felt like a more honest version of Truffaut’s ‘Day for Night’, and we see the petty jealousies, gossip, and strong opinions on a set that’s disorganized and lacking cohesion. I liked seeing Jean-Pierre Léaud at age 52, but his accent in the English he uses to communicate with Cheung is so thick that it was often hard to understand him, and I wish he had been subtitled. The story seems to fizzle a bit and lacks depth, perhaps because it was written and filmed so quickly, but maybe that’s a part of the point, and it’s more realistic this way. It really wanted me to see more of Maggie Cheung’s films, and the 1915-16 film series Les Vampires.
