Start getting the latex ready -- this week we're talking about the 1996 Olivier Assayas film IRMA VEP.
The cat suit was an aesthetic concept first ideated by the french filmmaker and actress Musidora. Since that first inception in 1915, many a movie heroine (or villainess) has donned the black, skin-tight image we come to see in IRMA VEP. But to focus on the physical beauty of its star (Maggie Cheung), is to miss the point (if not entirely).
