black costume
"She's delicate, but that makes her seem more dangerous. She's evil." ( Irma Vep remake drama series/22)
The black costume that Musidora wears in ``Les Vampires'' has been inherited in director Georges Franju's works in France, and has been inherited in Hollywood blockbusters, including Catwoman in the ``Batman'' series. Catwoman played by Michelle Pfeiffer in `` Badman Returns '' (1992), who is also mentioned in ``Irma Irma Vep.'' And the costumes of Halle Berry, Anne Hathaway, and Scarlett Johansson, who plays Black Widow... ... The costume, which covers most of the body in black, has the image of Musidora- Irma Vep.
Irma Vep's costume clearly highlights the lines of a woman's body, while at the same time covering it all up. An armor-like costume that can be an object of sexual desire, but at the same time blocks the gaze of desire. Michelle Pfeiffer's Catwoman had a sleek, cat-like figure, and sometimes had erotic movements that seemed to invite desire, but her body was tightly protected by the costume. And the fact that the covered parts are black seems to be the most important quality of this costume. The inviolable “mystery” of black. It looks unique on a monochrome screen.

When Musidora, wearing a black suit, moves in "Les Vampires," she becomes the blackness of the monochrome screen. Irma Vep can create an evil space with her body. As Alicia Vikander's protagonist says in Olivier Assayas' remake of Irma Vep , Irma Vep is not afraid of femininity. Enemies are afraid of her femininity. The enemy and the audience are both attracted to and feared by the mysterious and impenetrable black sheen of the girls covered in black costumes.
Alicia Vikander, in the remake of `` Irma Vep '', starts dancing like a dancer the moment she puts on the costume. Its appearance was as if it were possessed by the spirit of Irma Vep. In this film, Maggie Cheung gradually tames her costume. Every time she wears a costume, she splits herself into "multiple personas." Maggie walks up the stairs with a dance-like choreography similar to Musidora. Not only in Wong Kar-wai's `` In the Mood for Love '' (2000), there are few actors whose movements that move up and down stairs leave a strong impression on people like Maggie Cheung. Maggie Cheung's silhouette is like a flower that secretly blooms in the middle of the night, shrouded in sensuality and uncertainty.
