The cult favorite starring Maggie Cheungin a new remastered special edition!

Hong Kong action diva Maggie Cheung (Ashes of TimeRedux, In the Mood for Love) plays herself in OlivierAssayas’ spiky satire of the French film industry. After seeingher in Johnny To’s Heroic Trio, past-his-prime director René Vidal (NewWave legend Jean-Pierre Léaud) impetuously casts Cheung as the lead inhis remake of the silent classic Les Vampires.

With freewheeling cinematography choreographed to the strains ofSonic Youth and Luna, Irma Vep immerses the viewer into the headydesperation and l’amour fou of modern moviemaking. Zeitgeist Filmscelebrates its 20th Anniversary with a sparkling new DVD release of thissupercool comic gem.
