bought this Beauty:Beast CD from 1998 and ripped it to share with my fellow internet users around the globe

Irma Vep (1996), Olivier Assayas

Movies about moviemaking are always interesting enough simply because I am very familiar with that behind-the-scenes world and how vastly more chaotic, vapid, and unprofessional it actually is compared to the glamour and otherworldliness we often see and experience onscreen, so even though Irma Vep is a bit all over the place and mostly just people yelling at each other, which, to be fair, is exactly what the behind-the-scenes environment is like, maybe reminding me a bit too much of real-life work, there’s enough playfulness and adventure in here to make it very much worth it.
