Review of Irma Vep (1996) by Chris S — 14 Sep 2009
Maggie Cheung hasn't looked this stunning, even in her Wong Kar-Wai films. Maybe, it's the black leather outfit. Of course, she's the perfect Irma Vep. What does that other pretentious director know? The key scenes here are when Maggie Cheung pretends that she is really Irma Vep, a spy, and steals jewellery but later throws it out and when she is being interviewed by a French reporter who prefers ballet-like choreographed action scenes of John Woo's films over the pretentiousness and politics of French cinema.
