Irma Vep (France, 1996)

This probably would have been much better if they had just redone the classic Irma Vep (which I cannot find on IMDb - did it really exist?) rather than make a mocu-mentary about making the remake. As it was, I didn't really see the point of this one.

I saw this as part of a Backyard Cinema double feature hosted by the Phoenix Independent, Foreign & Art House Film Club. They have a great set-up in the host's back yard, complete with a large projection screen, & Blu-ray capability - all free of charge! The intermission gives those attending a great opportunity to discuss the first film & speculate on the second.
