An outlaw cinema classic from Olivier Assayas and one of the defining arthouse films of the ’90s. When Hong Kong superstar Maggie Cheung (playing herself) goes to Paris to play the queen of the the French underworld in a remake of the silent serial LES VAMPIRES, the part begins to inhabit her, instead of the other way around. With Jean-Pierre Léaud as the passionate director who seemingly can’t quite get a grip on the material and Nathalie Richard as the young French Production Assistant who takes Cheung under her wing. Featuring unforgettable songs by Sonic Youth and Luna.
