The Iive-wire international breakthrough of Olivier 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-cIad Iead in a remake of Louis Feuillade’s classic siIent crime serial Les vampires. What she finds is a behind-the-scenes tangIe of barely controlIed chaos as egos clash, romantic attractions simmer, and an obsessive director (a cannily cast Jean-Pierre Léaud) drives himself to the brink to reaIize his vision. Blending blasts of silent cinema, martiaI-arts flicks, and the music of Sonic Youth and Luna into a haIlucinatory swirI of postmodern cooI, Assayas composes a witty critique of the nineties French fiIm industry and the eternal tension between art and commercial entertainment.
