Irma Vep Reviews
A great movie for the latex rubber enthusiast
Irma Vep is a bizarre story about a young Chinese actress who plays the title character in a remake of the 1915 silent French film Les Vampires. It later becomes obvious that Irma (starring Maggie Cheung) accepted the role because of her innermost desires and fetishes. In fact, most of the female roles are portrayed as either bi-sexual or lesbian. Although there is only brief nudity and no sex in this film, it still has a very erotic theme The movie has absolutely no decent ending; typical of French films, but I still recommend this for those with a flair for this fetish.
"Satire" is such an abused term
20 years from now IRMA VEP's sole raison d'etre will be that it showcased the charm and beauty of Maggie Cheung to the max, which it does admirably well. I can only assume that Cheung was not subject to the kind of befuddling, unprofessional and inefficient conditions of the sets for the movie-within-the-movie, while she was making IRMA VEP. So there is some hope for the French cinema, no? I suppose many American critics would want to watch French filmmakers obtusely navel-gazing on why they cannot make great films any more. (Assuming that they used to make great films, even during the nouvelle vague) Me, I'll take the 12th run of HEROIC TRIO anytime. A work of art? A charming comedy? Mon derriere!
Ah and yes, Fox Lorber did the usual slum job with DVD transfer, mucho compression noise, especially in close-ups.
