Irma Vep
Life imitates art.
Created by Olivier Assayas
On HBO
A metafictional comedy-drama about identity and performance where a disillusioned actress's life increasingly mirrors the noir thriller she's filming, blurring the line between character and self.
Mira is an American movie star disillusioned by her career and a recent breakup, who comes to France to star as “Irma Vep” in a remake of the French silent film classic, “Les Vampires.” Set against the backdrop of a lurid crime thriller, Mira struggles as the distinctions between herself and the character she plays begin to blur and merge.
