Enjoying the 2022 Irma Vep quite a bit (altho Alicia Vikander is so far annoyingly lacking... I don't know... oomph? Maybe that's intentional).

But I think part of the reason I'm liking it is that I've recently watched both the 1996 film (with Maggie Cheung) and also the original 1916 serial Les Vampires. Definitely brings a lot of context to the series.

Is also fun to see Lars Eidinger in this, having watched him in "Babylon Berlin" (I will hold off on my usual ecstatic rave about that show).

It's funny that his characters' personalities in the two--although separated by about 100 years--are not dissimilar, at least to me. Maybe that's the way he tends to play characters in film?

(ooh, he's in "Clouds of Sils Maria"! That's on my to-watch list)
