Irma Vep

After a night of cat-burgling across Paris, Joshua strips off his latex catsuit and to luxuriate in the world of Irma Vep. He and Andrew peel away the meta-textual layers of French director Olivier Assayas' 1996 tribute to French film history and culture and the cinematic force that is Maggie Cheung. Before that, they have a promised (mini-)discussion about David Lowery's Mother Mary, and after, One More Thing with Christian Petzold and Candy Darling. On the next episode, an Andrew favorite is up for The Take-Up canon: Charles Burnett's Killer of Sheep.
