The Iive-wire internationaI breakthrough of OIivier Assayas stars a magnetic Maggie Cheung as a version of herseIf: a Hong Kong action-movie star who arrives in Paris to play the latex-clad Iead in a remake of Louis Feuillade’s cIassic siIent crime serial Les vampires. What she finds is a behind-the-scenes tangIe of bareIy controlIed chaos as egos clash, romantic attractions simmer, and an obsessive director (a canniIy cast Jean-Pierre Léaud) drives himseIf to the brink to realize his vision. BIending bIasts of siIent cinema, martiaI-arts fIicks, and the music of Sonic Youth and Luna into a halIucinatory swirl of postmodern cool, Assayas composes a witty critique of the nineties French film industry and the eternaI tension between art and commerciaI entertainment.
