SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION

If you loved Irma Vep, try these.

Day for Night poster 01

Movie / 1973 / Comedy / Drama

Day for Night

Why this pick

A warm, agile portrait of filmmaking where on-set mishaps, shifting affections, and professional improvisation become the drama—sharing Irma Vep’s affection for cinema as a precarious collective act.

Beware of a Holy Whore poster 02

Movie / 1971 / Drama / Comedy

Beware of a Holy Whore

Why this pick

Its stalled film production turns into an acidic chamber piece about ego, boredom, alliances, and exploitation, with the same fascination for creative work becoming a chaotic social performance.

The State of Things poster 03

Movie / 1982 / Drama

The State of Things

Why this pick

A suspended shoot leaves artists stranded between ambition and collapse; its cool black-and-white mood and self-aware filmmaking make a strong match for Irma Vep’s melancholy cinephilia.

Living in Oblivion poster 04

Movie / 1995 / Drama / Comedy

Living in Oblivion

Why this pick

A scrappy independent production unravels through technical disasters and volatile personalities. It is broader and more comic than Irma Vep, but equally alert to the absurdity and fragility of making movies.

8½ poster 05

Movie / 1963 / Drama / Fantasy

8½

Why this pick

A director’s artistic paralysis is rendered as playful, fluid meta-cinema, blending creative anxiety, performance, and fantasy in a way that anticipates Irma Vep’s porous line between life and film.
