Overview

A has-been French filmmaker with his creative finger firmly on the pulse of a by-gone era makes a desperate attempt at coming back by making a nostalgic tribute to Feuillade's popular silent serial Les Vampires, exciting adventures featuring the cat-like jewel thief Irma Vep, in this comedy drama. The director Rene Vidal chooses Hong Kong star Maggie Cheung (playing herself) as the new Irma. She comes to find chaos upon the backlot and learns that poor Vidal is the laughing stock of the cast and crew. She, however, tries to remain loyal to her director's vision. She also tries to gently discourage Zoe, the lesbian costumer for the film, from making further advances. Maggie later gets lost in her part and begins sneaking about her hotel dressed in a black catsuit and trying to rob the guests. Meanwhile, Vidal's decline accelerates.
