Description
It caused a scandal at the 1973 Cannes Film Festival and changed our critic Lisa Nesselson's life. Jean Eustache's masterpiece has now been restored and re-released for a new generation; we hear about the Parisian wanderings and wonderings at the heart of "The Mother and the Whore". Meanwhile, Olivier Assayas revisits his 1996 cult film "Irma Vep" in an eight-part series, with actress Alicia Vikander vamping it up in the title role. We find out why this most meta of comedies is a stylish homage to silent-era screen heroines.
