Directed by Olivier Assayas

Irma Vep is a 1996 French comedy-drama film written and directed by Olivier Assayas. Hong Kong actress Maggie Cheung plays a fictionalised version of herself, as disasters result when an unstable French film director (played by Jean-Pierre Léaud) attempts to remake Louis Feuillade's classic silent film serial Les Vampires (1915–16); Irma Vep is an anagram for the word "vampire". Taking place largely through the eyes of a foreigner (Cheung), it is also a meditation on the state of the French film industry.
