To a large degree, thisIrma Vepis a savagely self-deprecating enterprise for its creator, Olivier Assayas.
Hes still offering critical commentary, but he cant claim to be an outsider anymore.
She says theyd invented this magical projection system and they had to generate content to keep people hooked.
Industrial entertainment run by algorithms.
When Edmond talks about stretching content being the opposite of art, Assayas is implicating himself a little.
The self-deprecation doesnt end there either.
One day it was over.
She was the one who ended it.
In the meantime, the show must go on.
Its part of the process for him.
He has been a high-functioning junkie for as long as anyone has known him.
She doesnt know how she feels.
She doesnt know who shes attracted to.
She doesnt know what the next step forward is going to be.
For now, shes Irma Vep.
Thats a welcome distraction.

Never leave an envelope of crack with the concierge.
Gottfrieds interview with the online press seems certain to cause some headaches for the production.
Im not interested in preaching.
