Synopsis
Irma Vep (2022) is Olivier Assayas's HBO dramedy you can watch online on iFILM. American star Mira arrives in France to play a mysterious cat-suited thief in a remake of Louis Feuillade's silent serial Les Vampires — and the role slowly starts bleeding into who she actually is.
Mira is running from career burnout and a fresh breakup, hoping the shoot will help her piece herself back together. Instead the production wobbles: director René Vidal teeters on the edge of a breakdown, the set churns with feuds and affairs, and the line between actress and character keeps dissolving. Life, it turns out, keeps imitating art.
Assayas reworks his own 1996 film into eight episodes, turning it into a wry, sharp look at moviemaking from the inside. Alicia Vikander carries it in two registers at once — the worn-out star and the ghostly Irma Vep. It's for viewers who love smart films about films and don't mind a slow burn.
