Product info

The live-wire international breakthrough of Olivier Assayas stars a magnetic Maggie Cheung as a version of herself: a Hong Kong action-movie star who arrives in Paris to play the latex-clad lead in a remake of Louis Feuillade's classic silent crime serial Les vampires. What she finds is a behind-the-scenes tangle of barely controlled chaos as egos clash, romantic attractions simmer, and an obsessive director (a cannily cast Jean-Pierre Léaud) drives himself to the brink to realize his vision. Blending blasts of silent cinema, martial-arts flicks, and the music of Sonic Youth and Luna into a hallucinatory swirl of postmodern cool, Assayas composes a witty critique of the nineties French film industry and the eternal tension between art and commercial entertainment.<br/><br/>Director-Approved Two-Blu-ray Special Edition Features<br/>• New 2K digital restoration from the original camera negative, approved by director Olivier Assayas, with 5.1 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack <br/>• New interview with Assayas<br/>• On the Set of "Irma Vep," a behind-the-scenes featurette<br/>• Interview from 2003 with Assayas and critic Charles Tesson<br/>• Interview from 2003 with actors Maggie Cheung and Nathalie Richard<br/>• Musidora, the Tenth Muse (2013), a documentary on the actor who originated the role of Irma Vep<br/>• Les vampires: Hypnotic Eyes (1916), the sixth episode in Louis Feuillade's silent-film serial<br/>• Man Yuk: A Portrait of Maggie Cheung, a 1997 short film by Assayas<br/>• Black-and-white rushes for the film<br/>• English subtitle translation and English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing<br/>• PLUS: An essay by critic Aliza Ma
