Irma Vep2022
Life imitates art.
Mira is an American movie star disillusioned by her career and a recent breakup, who comes to France to star as “Irma Vep” in a remake of the French silent film classic, “Les Vampires.” Set against the backdrop of a lurid crime thriller, Mira struggles as the distinctions between herself and the character she plays begin to blur and merge.

1 cataloguedWith so much focus on the mechanics of moviemaking, the show, like the 1996 film, risks becoming too esoteric—as if Assayas were adapting François Truffaut’s Day for Night rather than riffing on a silent movie serial about a group of criminals who call themselves “The Vampires.” But the show exhibits a pleasurable lightness.
Love this director, love this show, I just hate how nothing anyone ever does is ever good enough. Every time the 'director' is in the scene, I just know it's going to be a whiny criticism and an endless complaints-fest no matter how good the actors or script or set... He just always endlessly complains.
Irma Vep is a quirky showbiz dramedy with some of the most deceptively smart writing on television, and that’s worth tuning in for.
