| Irma Vep | comment |
An American Mini Series remake of the French film of the same name, by the same director (Olivier Assayas).Mira Harberg (Alicia Vikander) is an actress who's just arrived in Paris to shoot the remake of Les Vampires, a classic French film. At the same time, she's promoting her recent hit, and runs into her ex-girlfriend Laurie (Adria Arjona) while doing so (she's engaged to the director), which causes awkwardness.Her role playing Irma Vep in Les Vampires is really a dream come true, since Mira is a huge admirer of the character. It comes as a breath of fresh air as she's disillusioned with her career and a recent tabloid scandal. Making the film, however, proves far more difficult than she anticipated: the director René Vidal (Vincent Macaigne) is unstable and eccentric, while the cast and crew are disorganized.As Mira struggles on, her role and life begin to blur...The miniseries's cast also includes Byron Bowers, Tom Sturridge, and Fala Chen. It was released June 6, 2022 on HBO. | |

Bloodless Carnage | |
| Irma Vep / int_135b9977 | comment |
Bloodless Carnage: The shootings in all Les Vampires' versions are bloodless, with victims simply falling to the ground after being shot at close range repeatedly. | |

| Irma Vep / int_21e5b9c7 | comment |
Failed a Spot Check: Eamonn and Lianna are so busy having sex in bed that neither notices as Mira (who's also in the suite with neither knowing) sneaks past them to leave. It helps that they have the covers obscuring them. | |

Lipstick Lesbian: Mira and Laurie are both bisexual women who like feminine garb a lot of the time, along with wearing their hair long. It's not too extreme though, and both also wear other styles. Zoe, an elegant feminine woman, also turns out to be a lesbian. | |

Significant Double Casting | |
| Irma Vep / int_48c24da4 | comment |
Significant Double Casting: Alicia Vikander in the series plays both Mira, who is playing Irma Vep in the modern Show Within a Show, but also Musidora, the French actress who'd first played the character in Les Vampires seen through many flashbacks to its 1915 production. This is shown as Mira slowly becomes Irma over time. | |

Mistaken for Gay | |
| Irma Vep / int_561dab6b | comment |
Mistaken for Gay: Due to Mira's bisexuality being tabloid fodder and with her previously having dated Laurie, the paparrazi think her current assistant Regina is her girlfriend, to Regina's annoyance. It later turns out Regina's into Mira however, kissing her and telling a friend she'd gladly sleep with her, so the mistake is only about them being in a relationship. | |

Plot Hole | |

Plot Hole: Mira and other actors point out problems with Les Vampires' plot, for instance she asks why a very skilled criminal gang would write down their secrets in a red codebook (however René notes people do that with passwords even now, so she concedes the point on that one). | |

Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil | |
| Irma Vep / int_8a817c2a | comment |
Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil: Some of the cast and crew strongly object to René putting in the scene with Irma being raped. They don't accept this when he protests that this was in the original film and he's recreating it, saying things were very different (i.e. worse) in the 1910s when this was first shot regarding rape. Him saying it's okay because Irma is herself a villain after this doesn't help. Mira though, who's playing Irma, doesn't mind it and says he should keep the scene in. | |

Tragic Stillbirth | |
| Irma Vep / int_a0671da | comment |
Tragic Stillbirth: Eamonn goes to Mira for comfort, telling her Lianna was pregnant and miscarried. Mira is very sympathetic, telling him she once suffered a miscarriage even earlier than Lianna's. What makes it worse too is neither of them can stop working even for a little while, since they're both in full time contracts signed before she got pregnant. Later she reunites with him and they decide to try again. | |

Working with the Ex: Not formally, but Mira's ex-girlfriend Laurie is now engaged to Herman, who directed the last film she'd starred in (leaving Mira for him). As they're promoting the film, they keep running into each other, which is very awkward (particularly since both are clearly still attracted to each other, and Laurie keeps flirting with her). | |
