Irma Vep

I think it's a beautiful show. It doesn't have the regular tropes of 'huge drama' but the way it's done - its exquisite, elegantly structured. The comparative shoots from the old silent film to the remake is absolutely stunning, very charming, and aesthetic. The drama between the lead main actor and the director is quite interesting. And the director's own fetish with Irma Vep character - the way he is besotted with her - and how he is trapped in a loop of fascination for years - his sittings with his therapist - are interesting. And the choreographer - and learning of the dance moves by the lead character Mira - very nice. I love it. I do not expect exact 10 star perfection from any show - i have my takeaways - but here very well deserving takeaways. Long takes, dialogues. Nice. But now - for the most interesting part - the sizzling sexual/sensual chemistry between Mira and her ex Lauri - its oomph. This is the binding factor. You can feel it in the air between them. Just three episodes down. I don't know how its going to pan out from here on...
