DESCRIPTION:Join us at 1 p.m. Sunday\, June 8th for director Oliver Assayas
 ' dazzling film-industry satire "Irma Vep\," starring Maggie Cheung\, whic
 h inspired the recent HBO miniseries.\n\n \n\n \n\nIRMA VEP | 1996 | DIREC

  content | RUNNING TIME: 1H 39M | In English and French with English subti
 tles\n\n \n\n \n\nOlivier Assayas’s live-wire international breakthrough
  stars a magnetic Maggie Cheung as a version of herself: a Hong Kong actio
 n-movie star who arrives in Paris to play the latex-clad lead in a remake 
 of Louis Feuillade’s classic silent crime serial Les vampires.\n\n \n\n 
 \n\nWhat she finds is a behind-the-scenes tangle of barely controlled chao
 s as egos clash\, romantic attractions simmer\, and an obsessive director 
 drives himself to the brink to realize his vision.\n\n \n\n \n\nBlending b
 lasts of silent cinema\, martial-arts flicks\, and the music of Sonic Yout
 h and Luna into a hallucinatory swirl of postmodern cool\, Assayas compose
 s in "Irma Vep" a witty critique of the nineties French film industry and 
 the perennial tension between art and commercial entertainment.\n\n \n\n \
 n\n \n\n \n\n"There are innumerable great touches\, big and small\, in 'Ir
 ma Vep\,' which is organic and alive like few movies ever are. (It was sho
 t on the fly in three weeks\, and the spontaneity shows.) But the one sequ
 ence that everyone who's seen the film remembers is a restless Maggie slip
 ping into her catsuit after hours and skulking around the hotel like Irma 
 Vep in the movie. Only this time\, she embodies the role effortlessly—sh
 e's sexy\, mysterious\, resourceful\, and liberated. -- Scott Tobias\, The
  AV Club\n\n \n\n \n\nTickets are $6 (including service charge) and availa
 ble at link above. Students use code STUDENT at checkout for free admissio
 n (must show student ID at the door).
